Mentoring is a wonderful process to develop the behaviour of a child from KG to PG. Every teacher must endeavour to take up this responsibility in the interest of children to prepare them as good citizens. Children love their teachers rather than their parents, and had a bling belief that what the Teacher is taught is right and genuine. This type of belief should be sustained by the teachers by improving their mentoring process throughout their career.
Mentoring is a process which consists of sharing the feelings, guiding the principles, coaching and training the chuildren towards better things, and finally counseling ther child to mould his charector to build it in a perfect way. Through the process of Mentoring, the chuld derives and gains a vast knowledge of understanding, motivation, honesty, sincerity, culture, behaviour, skills, habits, and a vast experience and knowledge that is required by the Child. Actually, mentoring is specifically defined as a sustainable relationship betwen the Teacher and taught. The teacher inculcate a sense of responsibility, behaviour, culture, hobbies, interestes, developments, desirable needs, good companionship, beter understanding, promptness, readiness to take up the responsilities, perfect programmeing, time management, social values, moral values, through formal and informal methodologies. Mentoring is focused as a powerful and succesfful weapon in the hands of the teachers which deliver good and better results from time to time.
Lest us discuss the important and specific duties of a teacher in an Educational Institution to discharge as a Good Mentor:
1. The primary responsibility of a teacher is to guide properly the students/children to behave in a better manner in the Society, School, home, and wherever they exists.
2. The teacher should critically analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a child so that he can be in a position to redress the weaken points and pave the way for the child to have a better future.
3. The teacher should continuously assess the behaviour of the child without any disruption and take corrective steps wherever necessary in the interest of the development of the child.
4. The teacher should afford complete freedom to the child so that the child may be in a position to express his feelings on all matters of his career, education, academic interest, personal interests, problems, so that the Teacher as a mentor will be fecilitated to put the child in a right path to the extent possibile.
5. Not only mentoring the child, the teacher should have an interview with the parents of the childs to discuss the status and behaviour of the child and try to remove the barricads that are coming across for the development of the child.
Now, let us move to the Charecterists of a Good teacher to become a good mentor.
1. A mentor should possess the qualities of a Good teacher, such as tolerance, love, affection, interest, motivation, observation, guidance, controlling, un-passionate, adjustement, temperment, honesty and sincerity, industriousness, patience, power of taking academic responsibility, enthusiasm, eagerness, qualitative methods of teaching and padagogy, Advanced techniques of instruction etc.

3. He should possess positive outlook and a sense of humour.
4. He should show the interest and willingness to share the experiences, feelings, and knowledge of the children and keep them in a better position to acquire knowledge and development in life and career.
