How to gain your child's trust

During childhood, it is but natural for a child to trust his or her parents.

But as they grow and continue to relate with you as parents, there are times that they thought that they could no longer trust you.  The level of trust began to go down.

As I have experienced, one of the best ways to let your children fully trust you is you must keep your promises.  I believed that promises are not made to be broken but to be fulfilled.  Although we should also be more tactful and careful for whatever promises we made our children.  We must never make promises we could not do and in the end we regret.  As the scriptures says, "let your yes be yes, and your no be no."

Besides, simple promises we made our children and keeping them will really make them to trust us.  And the other side is that when we say to them or request something from them, being also a friend to them, they will readily listen and obey.  That would be truly a wonderful thing!
