GLO for The Ladies

Welcome to the gathering place for our faithful lady mentors. No matter how successful you are as a mentor, everyone needs to be refueled. Take some time, browse and see what you need to ‘fill up’.

Topics:
* Responding to youth’s bad decisions

How should I respond?

It will happen sooner or later. So what do you do when your mentee or mentee’s friend or family member has done something you disagree with on moral/religious grounds. Sometimes a direct message of disagreement may be in order. But other times, there may be more useful ways to help youth see their errors themselves.

Below are a few questions that can help lead a kid to the heart of an issue and to productive decision making in their own heart.

What do you think about what you/they did?

I can’t say I understand why you/they did that. Why do you think you/they did it?

How did that help you/their situation?

What kinds of problems may happen if they did it again?

Is there anyone who might get hurt by this decision

What did you learn through this?

If your family/God/hero saw you/them do this, what would they think?

How can this decision help you meet your goals?

Is there anything you would do differently based on what you know now?

Jesus did a masterful job asking questions to help people “see”. You can too.
