Trust

I am amazed of the level of trust we are given.

To the children our word is golden, that is a gift we should be careful with, the fact that everything is new to them makes our information that much more important, it's the first time they hear it they can't compare it, they can't tell when we're lying or embellishing the truth and because of this sometimes we choose to joke around with their very serious questions, to lie because we think they're not ready for the answer or because their very simple question seems silly and obvious.

I wish every now and then I had that level of trust on the people surrounding me, a trust that says I know you’ll be there no matter what and you will always be honest with me, I try to always be honest with them, to a level where they can understand and their curiosity can be satisfied, when I make promises I keep them, to them I’m trustworthy and to me that’s a great present.

Trust is very important and as adults we understand what it means when the trust is broken, so as the figure that we are in their lives let’s try to never break it.
