Handout
Let your mentee have much of the control over what the two of you talk about & how you talk about it
listening and talking are at the heart of relationships
effective communication patterns are essential
don't push - mentee's may be shy and reluctant to talk in the beginning
be sensitive and be responsive - stay silent - follow your mentee's lead
young people vary in their styles of communicating
be direct in assuring the mentee that he/she can confide in you without fear of judgement or exposure
activities you do together can become a source of conversation
