Summary Many kids today are facing some pretty tough problems: parents divorcing, getting bullied, or not fitting in at school. Sometimes parents are the last ones they want to talk to; that's when a mentor can make all the difference. They offer friendship, encouragement and a sounding board for kids. We look at mentors who have made that special bond with kids and changed their lives in the process. Reality Check Do you think it's easy for your friends without kids to be considered cool by your children? Non-parent Derek Miller has some thoughts on the effort he expends to stay hip in the eyes of little people. How to: Be Left-handed With 90 percent of the population being right-handed, how can parents' help their "little lefties" learn to successfully adapt to the right-handed world around them? Video Diary: Maya Chendke Maya Chendke's parents hardly ever see her, not because they're too busy, but because she is. Maya is a full time journalism student with an after school job, but that's not all, she also writes for one of Canada's largest magazines, and she's just returned from Trinidad. She might be a kid, but she's also a foreign correspondent.
