Trust

What does it take to teach your children about trust?

I have two little boys that want my trust, but they betray it time and time again.

I busted them last night in their bedroom, with candy AND their electronics in their beds..

I had already tucked them nicely into their beds, but, with the recent issues, I am checking on them every 5 minutes, until I KNOW they are asleep.

There is a need for a deep talk about trust, and what it means.

They are grounded until they go to their dad’s on Wednesday this week.

Austin has been issued the “grounding” until mid-January, but he can earn small blocks of time back, with doing some positive things. I though the punishment was a little much, considering he thrives on being able to play his games, and such. I want to reward good behavior, but here we are, once again, with the immediate abuse of the privilege.

This mom is about to show these boys what it means to EARN the electronic time, and EARN the trust.
