Be prepared to do what they ask of you: 

tell your parents that you want them to do anything they want to prove your goodwill and your desire to restore their trust in you, and ask them frankly what they want even if they don't tell you right away; What is important is that you put them in a picture of your readiness to implement what they ask of you, even later, and if their request is difficult or unreasonable for you in your opinion, express it to them without complaining while expressing your desire to do it despite its difficulty.

any act responsibly, and declare that you are responsible for all your previous and subsequent actions and statements, including your mistakes, while affirming your desire to correct what you did and accomplish what is due to you, and this indicates personal strength and a sincere desire to restore your parents’ trust, and responsibility includes completing some work within And out of the house and relieved of your parents.

Do not despair of asking for forgiveness:

it is useful for your parents to feel that you are interested in them, their satisfaction, and your relationship with them, and this will also make it easier for you to restore their trust, so if you try to reconcile them and they refuse, do not despair and repeat the attempt more than once.

Stick to what your parents want from you:

and what they do not want, especially if you already know their desire and the prohibitions they have, and if you do not know, simply ask them to avoid their prohibitions so as not to be considered a violation of their trust more than once.

Follow the rules of your parents at home:

if they are strict and know that at some point they are necessary to control the joint family life and respect those rules while showing this to your parents, this will raise your status to them.

Maintain honesty: 

Whether it is a secret that belongs to them or to others, or a family matter that should not come out of the door of the house, this is a basic condition of trust.

If you are sure that your parents do not trust you and you are confused about the reason for this, see if you have taken any of the following:

Abusive behaviour: 

Parents' trust in their children can be undermined if they do something that harms the interest of the family while they know the expected harm from what they have done.

Embarrassing them in front of others:

The other thing that prevents parents from trusting their son/daughter is causing harm or harm to any of the acquaintances, relatives, or even distant others, which exposes them to embarrassment in front of them.

Recklessness and escaping from responsibility:

The thing that causes parents to lose confidence in their children is the children's failure to act responsibly towards what they are assigned to them by their parents or not showing the desire to take responsibility for any of the home or family duties, and even the future and study.
