Professor Smith’s Tip of the Month

School life is full of expectations by teachers and other students about how to be; home life is full of expectations by parents about how to be.

Those pressures-and the gap between them-can make teenagers feel stressed and unsupported.

That’s where a mentor can come in. By being aware of both school and family friction-and by physically visiting both locations-and of course by also talking about any tension that exists between the two, the mentee can feel very relieved, in a word, normal.

Ahhhhhhh, the comfort of normalcy in teenage life!

So, if you want to build up some solid trust in your relationship, visit your mentee at their home. Their parents will also really appreciate the gesture.

And if you can, see if you can meet them after school once in a while. It’ll make the kids feel like they’re really important in your life.

Until Next Time,

Prof. Rob Smith
