156. How to Build Trust With Your Kids
Podcast: Leadership Parenting- Resilient Moms Raise Resilient KidsPublished On: Wed Jul 29 2026
Description: Send us Fan MailTrust is one of those words we use constantly without ever defining it. In this episode, I break trust down into something simple and buildable: your words and your actions matching, over and over, until your kids come to expect it. I walk through why a vague "maybe later" can register as a broken promise, how we accidentally set traps for ourselves by attaching things we were always going to do to conditions we were never going to hold, and how to hold a line without any punishment in it. I also get into what a trustworthy person actually looks like, why the Two Jobs of Parenting are the architecture underneath trust, what to do when you're the one who dropped the ball, and how to start rebuilding when the person you trust least is yourself. Wherever you're starting from, and whatever age your kids are, it's never too late.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
