S2E21 - Talking to your child about Trust
Trust is at the heart of every parent-child relationship, but in today’s digital world, it’s more fragile—and more important—than ever. What happens when trust is tied to unrealistic expectations, like "I trust you not to see anything bad online"? And what do kids do when they feel they’ve broken that trust—without meaning to?
In this final episode of Season 2 of Sip the Tea, we dive into what trust really means to children, how misplaced trust can close the door to honesty, and how parents can create safe spaces for real, open conversations—even when things go wrong.
We explore how to build trust without fear, how to repair it when it’s broken, and why allowing space for mistakes might be the greatest trust-builder of all.
Thank you for joining us for this season of conversations, connection, and growth. Let's keep raising kids who feel safe, heard, and deeply trusted.
