Guidance for Life Transformation
Empowerment Mentoring is vital to transforming lives at Mettle Child, Inc., and can be an extraordinary experience for the mentee and mentor. To transform, children require positive interactions for learning and growth. We understand that on occasion medications may be a necessary evil, but never the answer. We further understand that every so often out-of-home care is a practical alternative, but again, not the answer.
✔ Social Skill Building is the Answer
Mettle Child aims to foster relationships between the mentee and mentor through established, energetic protégé-led mentorships. Trustees of the common good, our mentors introduce a notion or social skill, to challenge your child’s independent thinking and via a surplus of prudent parenting, direct intervention and representation. Helping children identify, understand, and cope with their specific needs and develop their personal voice and necessary social skills to make a positive difference in their families and relationships without need of violent outbursts from fear of judgment, punishment, or ridicule.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God's Will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.
-Romans 12:2
Mentors are versed in many arenas and model effective communication skills for children to learn to converse sensitively and objectively. Building upon strength, this style sets up optimal conditions for mentors to empower our children by exposing them to the importance of education, goal setting, college preparation, and the development of a healthy attitude for lifelong success.

Above are but a few words our children use to describe mentors, and research attests that children who have at least one consistent, caring adult in their lives are less likely to drop out of school or get in trouble with law enforcement than those without such powerful influence.
