Children do need our trust, but a trust that is tempered with loving
guidance and direction.   Part of childhood is learning appropriate
behavior and discovering how to relate to the world and other people.  I
believe that part of our problem (at least in the United States) is that we
have abandoned the belief that children need loving discipline and
direction.  We trust them with freedom before they have any understanding
of right and wrong or of the responsibility that comes with this freedom.

Just a thought...

Sincerely,
