6 Trust Building Activities for Kids
Trust — marriages fail without it. Companies crumble when employees do not see it in their leaders. Parents struggle if they do not provide it. Children cannot thrive without earning it. It’s at the forefront of any dynamic relationship, especially with your kids.
But trust is fragile.
Your son sees you as his hero until you break off that camping trip you promised. Your daughter is daddy’s little girl until you change your mind about letting her go to the party. Now you are the enemy. Why? You broke their trust.
Trust is not only a parent’s responsibility, but it must also come from children. You may never trust your daughter to go to that party because she lied about the last party she attended. She lost your trust.
Luckily, there are some exercises you can use to build or restore confidence in your relationship with your kids. Here are 6 trust activities for kids.

Why not have one day each year in your family to celebrate a Jubilee?
