Here are some tips to help your child identify and create a mentoring relationship with others:
1. Make sure the possible mentor is a trusted family member or friend, or stay present with them at all times if you have not built a trusting relationship yet
2. Point out the characteristics, skills, and knowledge this person has that could be beneficial for your child to learn about.
3. Choose a mentor who is close and not too busy so you are able to have many quality interactions.
4. Help your child understand that we are all a work in progress and not perfect. Hopefully we are all working to grow personally and professionally.5. Mentoring can either be a structured and focused activity such as someone teaching your child a specific skill like knitting or it could be simply spending time together talking about things that interest your child or even a sporting event just to have fun.
6. Insist that your child demonstrate gratitude for the time or information the mentor has shared by writing a thank you note or calling them personally on the phone to thank them.
