MENTORS
If there's one thing we need more of in this world, it's positive role models and mentors in the lives of children and adolescents... but mentors more than role models. -Because mentors play a direct instrumental role...role models can be this idealist pedestalled being who is an unattainable match, though often inspire vision/dreams. But a mentor is someone who comes alongside an individual to help them grow, teach them life skills, and be of emotional support and encouragement. Our society is running short. Why? do adults know not how to provide this service? Are thy not motivated to initiate this type of relationship? ~Big Brothers and Big Sisters is a cool opportunity for adults to play a positive interactive role in kid's lives - and there's plenty more places to check out as well...sometimes/dare i say all the time, life skills aren't innate automatic attributes distributed apon arrival into a sophisticated human society...it's all apart of generativity!
Fun Stuff: what can parents do with their kids for fun? Go bowling! and maybe even read some scripture in the alley before you start the game? That's cool stuf.
