Me And My Boys: My Mentoring Experience

When you encounter school kids with disciplinary problems, you know that behind their actions, there's usually something more than a desire to just cause trouble. They may have desires for a two parent family, or maybe they're mourning the recent loss of a family member, or maybe they're coping with an abusive situation at home. This is certainly true for the four boys that Tony Johnson began mentoring. He knows he can't change their past and was very skeptical that he could positively influence their future by only meeting with them for one hour a week. Often times, when things were going well, he would get the dreaded text stating, "your boys are in trouble again." He begins to question if they really want to improve. Is there any way he'll ever get through to them? Me & My Boys is an excellent read for parents, community leaders, and anyone involved in organizations that serve children. This book clearly shows that while you can't promise anyone a happy ending, what matters most is your time. The care and attention you can offer means the world to these kids-even if they have a funny way of showing it.
