Trust can be difficult, and it seems like it's becoming more and more difficult. Communicating the importance of trust, how to earn trust, and the value of trust is necessary! This month we're talking to our children about this very topic and how trust means putting your confidence in someone you can depend on.

Trust comes from understanding that someone else knows more than we do and realizing we can depend on them. It can be difficult for parents to teach trust, but instead parents need to model it. Allow your kids to see you making decisions that show you trust others. Talk with them about who you trust and why. Their trust in others will grow as they see how you trust others.

Below you'll discover what we're talking about each week, and you'll also see a few downloadable resources that you can use to help continue the conversation at home with your kids. We hope you find this helpful!
