Well trust is something that is not just given, it is earned. When a child has listened to the guidelines set throughout their lives, and you as a child as we all do, will make mistakes, and you admit them, you learn and grow from them..............then yes trust is a gift that you have EARNED. It is not something that is just handed over when you reach those teen years. If you have done things repeatedly that have your parent's lose trust, you must work to gain it back. Also respect your parents, even though, yes as I am a Mom, we can drive you crazy because you are wanting to be independent, do your own thing, you THINK you know all, but trust your parents, that their life experience, will help you!! As we get older, we hopefully get wiser, mature and know the world differently and can then share it with you as teens!!! So one day you too will grow into a healthy, caring, respectful, trusting adult!!!! And the circle of life continues on...............

Trust is not a gift it is something that is earned.
Parents teach ... when the child achieves success and shows responsibility and accountability is when the child receives the trust ... so trust is earned.
Let's go back to when the child was a toddler ... The parents were teaching the toddler to walk ... there were many falls and probably a few cries ... the parent didn't let go after the toddler took its first step ... instead the parent stood by more diligently until the toddler proved time and time again that he/she could walk independently.
Same goes with a teenager ... the gift is the parent staying by you when you THINK you can do it on your own.

No. Love followed by respect from the parents. Parents, too, need to be respected. The best way to get-r-done is for the parents to bring the child up trusting in God and having Faith that all things are possible through Him. So, love, respect, trust, faith, courage---all of those things seem to happen when the parents have done their part.
Sorta like DO AS I DO. Not the DO AS I SAID DO method.

Yep, trust, a loaded gun, and a syringe of morphine are the greatest gifts a parent can give a teen.
Sorry, but no. Trust isn't given to a teen, it must be earned. However, it seems must easier for parents now to give teens what they want instead of actually being parents and allowing them to earn it.
So, that would be a big no.

Trust is earned, not given as a gift.

Maybe a kid needs more than trust from his parents...but trust has its benefits for kids..they won't have problems in self- trust and they will pass through life problems easier...

No. Trust is not a gift. You earn it.
Love is the gift, even if teens don't see it at the time.

love is most important. and parents who trust their kids 100% are naive because ALL kids do things they shouldn't. it's their job as parents to watch over their kids. good parenting is somewhere between being a friend and being a warden!

yes and no. my parents trust me with certain things but with other things they dont. if you say trust your kids shouldnt that mean everything. like if a child had a boyfriend, parents should trust them but they dont.

Trust is real good. Loving God is the only thing that I can think of that is more important.
