"Remember, trust is mutual. T**he degree to which your children can trust you will be reflected in their own ability to trust**. When children don’t have a sense of trust and security in the world, they experience all kinds of difficulties. Studies show that children rated as less trustworthy by their teachers exhibit higher levels of aggression and lower levels of “prosocial behavior” such as collaborating and sharing. Distrust in children has also been associated with their social withdrawal and loneliness." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[trust]], [[parenting]], [[character]], [[discipline]], **Source** -- [[20251230081807 - B - How to Do Nothing]]
