Here are some tips for building trust with 8-10 year old students in a classroom setting, using Simon Sinek's leadership principles:

- Start With Why - Explain the reasons behind classroom rules and activities. Children are more likely to buy into things when they understand the purpose behind them.

- Create a Safe Environment - Build a classroom culture where students feel physically and emotionally safe to take risks, ask questions, and make mistakes. Make it clear bullying will not be tolerated. 

- Listen First - Make time for one-on-one conversations with each student to understand their interests, challenges, and perspectives. Listen more than you speak.

- Model Integrity - Keep your word, admit mistakes, and apologize when appropriate. Children are observant and can sense when someone is not being genuine.

- Encourage Openness - Let students share ideas and provide respectful feedback. Praise courage and honesty. Make sure all voices are heard.

- Clarify Expectations - Set clear rules and explain why they exist. Hold students accountable in a fair and consistent way. Avoid surprises in discipline.

- Respect Individuality - Get to know students' unique skills, personalities and learning styles. Accommodate different needs and allow some autonomy.

- Offer Help Unconditionally - Make it clear you are there to fully support students, not just when they perform well. Check in with struggling students.

- Enable Progress - Break larger goals into smaller steps students can achieve. Recognize effort and improvement. Give specific praise.

The key is being reliable, empathetic and transparent with students to build trust over time. Consistency and care are important.
