Can you admit in front of your child that you were wrong? And why?
I am curious about your opinion.

yes of course. parenting is about modeling. if you demonstrate gaslighting (to deny or omit truth) they will model this behavior.
It depends on how wrong, and what about, and the age of the child ..
.. generally I would say yes, because it shows the child that it's ok to be wrong about things, and also shows the child how to make mistakes and own them ..

Oh my. There's nothing worse than making your child believe you are never wrong or know everything.😄My mum is 60 and still acts like she knows better and has to be right or throws a scene to "win", it's just pathetic at this stage and age. On me it was very hard, to find out how huge bs my parents pushed through my head. When I saw through, the real problems and power fights began. It's impossible to be right, to know better. Good luck to anyone who tries to manipulate children this way. It will bite a lot, you or them, decades later.
Absolutely, and I teach them to do the same. If you are wrong and are proven wrong but won't admit it it damages the credibility of anything you say moving forward. Additionally, by accepting that you were wrong in light of new information it that shows that you are willing to learn.
