MAKING DEPOSITS

  • Anytime you are nice to someone you are depositing trust into that relationship.
  • On the other hand, withdrawals occur when we are unkind.
  • Examples (nice): Smiling or saying hello to someone, giving someone a compliment, and saying "Thank You"
  • Examples (unkind): being sarcastic or ignoring someone

WHAT'S IT WORTH

  • Any withdrawl of trust from a relationship is a serious matter.
  • Depending on the serverityof the withdrawl, numerous deposists are necessary to make up for the trust lost.
  • Example: Taking the trash out three days in a row in no way makes up for taking your parent's car.

BULIDING TRUST WITH PARENTS

  • Most kids argue about the Little Things with their parents.
  • These Little Things are important only becausw they are attached to Big Things.
  • The Trust Fund can really help you if your parents don't trust you.

THE BIG THINGS

  • Big Things are the those things that are most important to us.
  • If you don't have those Big Things then your relationship will be rocky and not good.
  • Space is very important because you need to be independent, but also stay connected to the relationship.
