How do respect and trust role in their family

Auggie's family is crucial to his growth and maturity over the course of the novel. The other Pullmans are a constant source of support, encouragement, and love, no matter how rough it gets of Auggie as he tries to fit in beyond his family unit. While the universe has been unkind to Auggie in many ways, in perhaps the most important way it has blessed him with a loving, supportive family that can help him get through almost anything.

As far as respect and trust.... they are integral to the family unit. Auggie's family does not always agree on plans, responses, or actions, but they do respect each other's differing opinions and take the time to listen to each other when they disagree. Trust is found in knowing that each and every member of the family knows the other believes their actions and feelings are true and genuine.
