Ever wonder what the tricks are to getting your kids to like veggies or what about math class? This weekend’s show is all about getting your kids to try new things…..and like them!
This week our tv crew is traveling around West Michigan collecting great stories about the power of mentors! From watchdog dads in the classroom to moms helping moms bloom…there are all kinds of amazing ways people are helping others! Each story reinforces the fact that it’s really all about one person, giving one hour a week for at least one year—these simple acts truly can make all the difference! Our show, “Where You Live” this coming weekend will explore some awesome mentoring programs in West Michigan. We’ll also share some ways you can become a mentor. If you currently are involved in mentoring program where you live-I’d love to hear about it!
