As a parent, you understand the importance of academic success for your child’s future. However, when your child struggles with school, it can be frustrating and disheartening. Poor grades, time management issues, and a feeling of being unsupported can all contribute to a negative outlook on their abilities to succeed in all aspects of their life. But don’t worry, there is hope!
MentoringYoungAdults.com provides the guidance and support that your child needs to overcome these obstacles and achieve their full potential. In this article, we’ll discuss how mentoring can help your child master time management, communication and advocacy skills and provide tips to help them to consider trying our mentoring program.
Effective time management is crucial for academic success. Balancing schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments can be overwhelming for many students. Our mentors help your child find the best way that works for them to use our tools to slowly master prioritization, goal setting, and scheduling, empowering them to manage their time effectively. Our Mentors provide accountability and support in a judgement-free environment to help keep our mentees on track and prevent them from falling behind. But when things go off track, our skills on how to pierce the target, start once more, free of judgment, makes all the difference to a long and successful career.
In addition to time management, communication is an important skill that our mentors will help your child develop. When students struggle in school, they may not know how to seek out the resources and support they need. Our Mentors will find the ideal way forward for your child to learn how to communicate effectively with teachers, counselors, and other school staff, and with our help, identify and utilize support systems both inside and outside of school.
If you’re wondering how to convince your child to try our mentoring program, here are a few tips:
- Be supportive and encouraging: Let your child know that you believe in them and that you want to help them succeed. Explain that mentoring is a positive step towards achieving their goals. It does not involve talk therapy. Mentoring is about working on whatever they feel then want to work on.
- Highlight the benefits: Explain how mentoring is a different approach and how mentoring can help them develop valuable skills that will benefit them not just in school, but also in other areas of their life.
- Address concerns: If your child is hesitant about trying the program, listen to their concerns and reassure them that the program can be tailored to their needs.
If they are worried about the time commitment, let them know that the program can be tailored to their schedule. - Involve your child in the decision-making process: Give your child a say in whether or not they want to try our mentoring program. By involving them in the decision-making process, they’ll feel more engaged and invested in the program.
If they are still reticent, suggest they try just one hour (it’s online, no need to go anywhere) and they can let you know if they want to try it for a few more weeks.
