Finding Mentors for Your Child
As kids head into their older elementary, adolescent, and teen years, other people’s influence in their lives increases in importance. Because of this natural transition, it’s vital for us to assist our kids in connecting with quality mentors before they head into the next phase of life.
Encouraging Mentoring Relationships
Encourage your teens to be active in your church and youth group and to be proactive in building relationships with the leaders. We all need people who are ahead of us in life and faith to support and encourage us along the way, and the sooner our kids learn and embrace this truth, the better off they will be.
Volunteers as Mentors
One of the best places to encourage mentoring connections for kids is through children’s ministry. Volunteers who are called, equipped, encouraged, and trusted make great mentors. The most beneficial mentoring relationships are those that naturally grow over time out of regular interactions.
Teaching Your Teens That Mentors Matter
I believe there are some things we can do as parents to help our teens understand and feel the importance of connecting with mentors. If we can keep these principles in mind, we can better help our teens be surrounded by the influences they will need.
