I have been thinking a lot about mentoring lately. Of course we want our children to find permanency with a family but for those children who age out of foster care - what do we do? How can we ensure they will be confident, contributing members of society? Well, if they don't have the self esteem or the knowledge on how to do this, the chances become slimmer and slimmer. A teacher or mentor who invests in our kids is crucial. It's so important for our children to realize that they are beautiful, smart beings who can do whatever they put their minds to but sometimes, they need someone there to remind them of the amazing power that is inside them.
My coworker, Lisa, sent us this amazing video. While it's specifically about teachers, I dare you to watch it and not be inspired!
