There is actually a fairly easy way to teach your child how to keep to their word. Show them! If you tell your child that you are going to do something follow through with it.

This is in every since, if they are in trouble, and can’t use a certain toy until 7 o’clock, then don’t give them that toy before then. You can use this in a good way too for example, if you promise to do something with or for your child (or even the people around you) then stick to your word.

This will help your child see that it is important to be dependable. It is hard to do 100% of the time, as things do come up. Always know that you have those set of eyes watching everything you do. Be a good example.
