Do the child’s siblings ever get jealous over the child having a mentor?
This can be a problem for some children, who may resent the extra time that their sibling receives from a mentor. Our mentors will encourage the child to be considerate with their siblings, so the relationship will hopefully improve naturally. You would receive support from your Programme Manager if there is anything else you need to do in order to deal with this issue.
Sometimes the child’s siblings are jealous that their brother or sister has someone who can take them out and play every week. While the mentoring relationship must remain one-to-one, you can always encourage the child to include their sibling in other games and activities. This will improve the relationships and atmosphere within the whole family.
