Communication is central to building trust from "summary" of Parenting from the Inside Out by Daniel J. Siegel MD,Mary Hartzell

The foundation of a strong parent-child relationship lies in effective communication. When parents are able to communicate openly, honestly, and empathetically with their children, it creates a sense of trust and security. This trust is essential for children to feel safe and supported in their relationships with their parents. Communication is not just about talking – it also involves listening and understanding. When parents take the time to really listen to their children and validate their thoughts and feelings, it shows that they value and respect their child's perspective. This validation helps children feel heard and understood, which in turn strengthens the bond between parent and child. In addition to listening, effective communication also involves being able to express emotions in a healthy way. When parents are able to communicate their own emotions in a clear and respectful manner, it sets a positive example for their children to follow. This kind of open and honest communication helps children learn to navigate their own emotions, leading to better emotional regulation and self-awareness. By fostering a culture of open communication within the family, parents can create an environment where trust can thrive. When children feel that they can express themselves freely without fear of judgment or rejection, it builds a strong foundation of trust that can withstand any challenges that may arise. This trust is essential for children to feel secure in their relationship with their parents and confident in themselves.
