[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 348302, member: 10"] Hi, Mentoring is essentially building a relationship of trust that a kid has with an older person. It helps the kid to open up and promotes thinking and communication skills that chllenging kids lack. Too often kids find themselves in a cat-mouse situation trying not to get into trouble , being closed , feeling controlled, manipulated etc. A good mentor uses dialog questions and listening to get the child to speak - he is a listener and the child speaks , he justs asks questions , helps kids explore issues without blame and being unconditionally accepted . This is essemntially what CPS - colaborative problem solving is about. Mentoring can be described also as - personal coaching . The goals are the kids , not imposed , what he can feel he can handle and the rest is done in a collaborative way. Using rewards et undermines the unconditional and more democratic relationship between mentor and child , factors essential for success. I recommend mentors, older brother/sisters , buddy-tutors for all kids. I also believe that the mentoring dynamic is one that parents should adopt Good luck Allan [/QUOTE]
