Question: big brother big sister program? my 3rd grade daughters teachers and i met last night for a parent/teacher conference and they told me that shes a very well liked girl in school with a lot of friends but shes is very quiet and they suggested the big brothers big sisters program. they said the big sister would be a senior in high school who needs to meet very high guidlines (they are screened) and they would spend a half hr a week together during the school day. they somehow think this will boost her confidence and make her more outgoing, i was just wondering if anyone could give me some opinions on the program because i am not familiar with it.

Answer: I think this would be a wonderful opportunity for your daughter.  Younger children often times look up to older ones and a Big Sis giving her attention may help her.  It will definitely be a positive memory for her.
