In today’s era it has become so much easier to lose your way, lose focus, getting influenced by something negative without realizing consequences. This can happen with anyone and when it happens with young kids it can lead them to a path which becomes unmanageable and detrimental to their progress. These people need motivation, they need direction. It is important to make them realize the benefits of having a purpose in life and how to keep their focus, how to add values to their lives by building valuable and meaningful relationships.

Mentoring can provide kids with a support structure where they can talk about their current challenges they are facing and provide them with guidance as to how with proper thinking and action they can make their lives better. Mentors acknowledge focusing on dysfunction, negative thinking, contemplating, obsessing leads to anxiety and depression, thus they focus on positive consolidation, encouraging expression and building confidence.

Mentoring is about teaching young adults how to make decisions, make smart decisions which will help them in the future. This decision-making will help them to become more successful in their work, friends, family, and life goals. Kids these days are smart and sensitive; they require guidance to know how and where to start.

As the famous saying goes ‘Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Everyone is capable and talented in some way or another but somehow our focus is lost. Helping teens and young adults how to find and access inner strengths and put them to work is what can be achieved through mentoring.

Mentors help in developing interpersonal skills, social skills, and effective life skills to uplift their self-esteem and confidence.
