Phase 2
Role of an older friend: They should both have things in common, so they get on well. It should be a mutual respect and equal to equal relationship , although he should be a role model and a good example to look up to.
He should also support him in tough moments , and give him useful advices for life. In the moments that you are with him, you should attend him, and not leave him alone.It is also important to empathize with him and put yourself in his shoes as a child to understand each other and have fun.
It is also important that this older friend has a minimum of experience so that this relationship is more bearable.
If we follow this role, the child will feel very comfortable among his peers and will have made a new friend with whom he will like to play and hang out.
Phase 3
- It's very important to be responsible and a good model for the child, because on this way the child will have a model to follow to be a good person.
- You have to be punctual, because if the parents need to go out earlier, you will have to be with the child.
- You must have first aid experience in case of an emergency you can help him.
- You have to be patient with the child. You must remember he is just a child and it is not as older as you.
- You must work together with the younger friend to form a very good relationship, so you will be comfortable together.
- You must have good communication skills, so it is easier to understand, and interact with him.
- You must have a positive attitude, so the time you spend together is more pleasant.
