improved parenting skills and family relationships for parent mentees

Beziehungsaufbau und Interaktiosfähigkeiten

Improvements were also noted in parenting skills. Some benefited from participation in family or parenting courses as well as mentoring. In the survey, respondents gave an average starting score for parenting skills close to the mid-point (4.76), but it is significant that just under a quarter gave starting scores of only 1-3. By the end of mentoring, the average had increased to 7.94 and none rated themselves less than 5. Two indicated no change over the mentoring period, both at scores of 6. Changes were significant in some individual cases, with one increasing skills by six scale points and two by five points, all three attributing this change completely to mentoring. Overall, mentees attributed most of the change to mentoring, with an average attribution of 79 percent.
