If and when I raise a child...

If and when I raise a child, I will never disbelieve them.  From my own experience, it is very frustrating when my own parents believe someone else over my own word that I have given them.  Therefore, I don't ever want my children to worry about me not trusting them.  I'm not saying that it's not possible for trust to be lost between a parent and a child, but I think that parents need to listen to their children more instead of listening to others first.  It's unfair for people to judge/make a decision based on information that could be false.
