Sibling Matches  

Comparison is a common occurrence amongst siblings.  To help combat this, BBBSEM staff starts early in setting clear expectations with all Match Parties about what to expect and that differences amongst matches is ok.  Bigs and guardians can help manage Littles’ expectations by reiterating this messaging.  The key to our program is the personalized experience for each Big and Little, so what is successful for one match may not be success for another match (or what one match may enjoy, another may not).  If comparisons feel like a continued challenge, talk with your Match Support Coordinator for more ideas.
