Learn how to teach your children to navigate trust... how to build it, and why it's really hard when you break it.
Learn:
- How trust is different.
- What happens when trust is broken.
- How our love for our children is the same, but our trust may be different.
- How to teach trust to your children.
- Trust levels are different for different things.
- If they want trust, then they have to BUILD trust.
- Trust is built by CONSISTENT actions that show you are trustworthy.
- If you don’t build trust, or destroy trust in one area, you will have to work to re-build that trust. And it will be harder to re-build each time (like bricks for a house, the first time they come in a nice stack, but re-building if the house is knocked over is more work).
- If one child builds trust... And one doesn’t. There will be different privileges given to different children.
- Teaching Your Children: We don’t expect you to be perfect. But we do expect you to be honest.
- You will make mistakes. Own it (teaching ownership while young).
- If you lie or are dishonest about something, remember that you are choosing to destroy trust. Trust that you will have to re-build.
