When asked to define what mentoring means to him, Ken Rabow, a life empowerment coach, who has been working with "self-sabotaging teens" for the past 11 years, described a mentor as "a person who imparts wisdom and life ideas and values and yet allows a person to walk the path ahead, while helping to guide them." As Ken puts it "I am a tourist guide on the map of life." This fascinating subject was the feature on Lon Woodbury's Internet Talk Radio Show "Parent Choices for Struggling Teens" December 26, 2011 at LATalkRadio.
Ken specializes in working with struggling teens, ages 13-25, who need help in connecting and finding their way in life through a four part process: getting off the "treadmill", start a daily routine of meditation to silence the mind, get physical… take a walk, working out or take a bike ride and get creative, through a daily journal, blogging, creating or working on music or art. Ken feels creating and using music changes us and can affect others.
When asked why he focuses on this particular age group, Ken replied "this is an amazing generation. Everything in their lives changes, everything they do or what defines them changes every 2 years. Their lives are changing at a rapid pace, a pace that has never happened in the history of the world." Agreeably so, shared Lon "these kids have to figure out their lives when everything is changing." And both believe there is a "need for new ways of mentoring and working with these teens in this rapidly changing world."
When Lon asked Ken if there a sense of feeling unsafe for these teens" Ken shared "these kids are living in their bedrooms where they have everything they need: a flat screen TV, a computer, music. These are their boxes of safety. And our job is to help them create small boxes of safety outside in the world."
