As it gives them a sense of responsibility and yes there will come a time when that trust may be broken, but as you pointed out there is a lesson to be learned from breaking trust.<br /><br />By trusting our children we are allowing them to grow as people, giving them the freedom they need, but with guidelines.<br /><br />#BigTopBlogHop<br /><br />Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933494199087059715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005056961459638051.post-28273262423494594402015-04-22T10:51:31.561-04:002015-04-22T10:51:31.561-04:00I love this!

Has she betrayed that trust? Yes. But we worked through it and now she has earned it back and I trust her again. <br /><br />I totally agree with the technology as well. She knows the rules. And I do check on her, but very infrequently. I don't need to hover over her. Plus, what does that teach? I'm not going to be able to follow her around her whole life making sure she does right. <br /><br />Thanks so much for this post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501130930284294936noreply@blogger.com
