In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: To trust is to rely on God and be sure of His help. The Psalms call on Israel and the house of Aaron to trust in the LORD.

In the primary lessons: In lessons about people and safety, children learn to tell trusted adults (parents, teachers, police) about problems and not to trust strangers online who ask for secrets or photos. In stories, trust can be built, broken or won back. Phrases: «trust me», «a trusted adult», «break someone's trust», «trust your instincts», «trust in».
