can parents be mentors?

Answer 1

of course, i mean a mentor is a person that shows a person the ropes and acts as a model for living. a parent should be the first choice as a mentor, if the parent is applicable.

Answer 2

Parents can be mentors but only if the child sees them/accepts them as mentor.
While a child picks up a lot of cues from parents and shapes its behaviour, a grown up boy/girl looks for a mentor outside 'home' environment. He/she may perceive parents to be driving their own agenda and consider them to be not 'neutral'. Hence ideally a mentor can be a school teacher, senior relative like uncle or even a neighbour. The point is that child has to believe in and accept a mentor !

Answer 3

sure why not ... though it may not be to their own kids, but then again there are many friends who talk as if their parents are their mentors (it just may come later than earlier in life when you realize it)
