what is it we model to young people?

This is possibly one of the hardest elements to our work, in that all that we are, all that we say, and all that we do models something to the young people we work with. This psting is very much linked to the posting i I made on mirroring a couple of days ago, in that the person we are models and mirrors something to the young people we work with. If we are to be true authenticworkers then our relationship with the young people we meet needs to demonstrate the same principles and elements as any other relationship we have. We are not being true to ourselves or the young people we wrk with, if we try and be something different to them than what we are with other people. So what is it about our lives that we want to model to young people? ple What is it from our lives that we want the young people to pick up for their own lives? we need to beleive in the people we are, and the values we demontrate so that others can see that they are real and true, and that is where relaitonships have an impact on ech other. So let's take time and reflect on who we are and what is it that weactually model to the young people we work with?
