That sounds like a slightly different subject to me. I don't think I'd tell me kids to blindly believe anyone, but I might tell them that in certain situations it's important to trust so and so.

I might discuss the kind of people who are likely to be reliable, but I'd still want to develop critical thinking by examining what the person is saying. Like if someone offers to show you their pet dragon, you have a red flag.

I'd never tell them to blindly believe me, that would be an abandonment of teaching critical thinking.
Feel free to send me a private message.
