答应孩子的事情就一定要做到 守则一：父母应对孩子讲诚信
父母在向孩子许诺之前一定要三思，不能言而无信，答应孩子的事情就一定要做到。如果兑现不了，应及时给孩子解释，向孩子道歉，并作自我批评，让孩子从内心理解和原谅父母，事后父母应设法兑现自己的承诺。
因为孩子对大人说的话是一向当真的。否则，久而久之，孩子会对父母产生不信任感，并认为说了话可以不算数，慢慢地他们也会学着这样做。
守则二：对孩子讲诚信的言行要及时表扬和鼓励
守则三：父母应该关注和尊重孩子和孩子之间的“约定”
例如，你计划周末带孩子去爷爷奶奶家，但是孩子已经答应了周末去小朋友家玩，那么就父母就应该尊重孩子和小伙伴的有约在先，不可以强迫孩子服从父母的安排对他人爽约。
守则四：如果发现孩子撒谎，切忌不问情由的惩罚孩子
发现孩子撒谎，正确的做法应该是耐心地启发孩子，让孩子认识到自己的错误，如果孩子承认了错误，父母应该谅解孩子并说一些鼓励的话。

If parents could not carry out them, they should give timely explanations, make apologies to children, and have a self-criticism, so that children can understand and forgive their parents from hearts. After that, parents should try their best to keep the promises, because children always take the adults’ words seriously. Otherwise, as time goes by, children will not have confidence in their parents, and think that they can go back on their words. As a result, they will learn to do like that gradually.
Principle 2: Give timely praise and encouragement to children’s honest words and deeds.
