Weekly Book Excerpt: “Establish Trust: Be Your Word”
“Everything you say to your children is a promise or an agreement. Do what you say you’re going to do and you build trust. Trust is what carries you through when they’re sixteen years old and driving around with their friends and you don’t know what they’re doing.”
I can’t reiterate this more. It is important in all relationships in our life. BE YOUR WORD. Do what you say that you are going to do. Even if it’s small. If you say you will play Monopoly after dinner, then do it. Even if you are too tired, don’t make promises that you can’t keep. Your relationship will flourish if you actually do what you say.
