[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I think you're overlooking an awful lot. Watching someone grow still amazes me, and I've been working with kids for more than 15 years. If you have children, I hope you've felt the same way at some point. If you haven't, you're missing out on one of the best parts of parenting.

Yes, that's what I meant. But befriending only people in one age set again and again is not watching them grow. It's staying with kids of a certain age, then moving on to other kids of that age, etc. That was my point.[/quote]

And my point was that I don't move on when they are no longer a certain age.  I'm in touch with all of the kids I've mentored.  Any decent mentor keeps in touch, or the mentee starts to believe that the mentor was only doing it to get someone out of it.  Honestly, please call Big Brothers Big Sisters and talk to them.  If you won't believe me or anyone else on here who mentors kids, maybe you'll believe someone in a national organization devoted solely to saving and enriching kids' lives[/quote]
