(A Talk with A King™) Lessons on Helping Young People Deal with Destructive Peer Pressure with Veteran Educator, Husband, and Father, Reginald Brock

Here's some GOOD news: We can save troubled, inner-city youth, but we cannot make excuses for destructive behavior. While there is a cause and effect to everything, understanding why the problems exist don’t lead to condoning them. We must remain HOPEFUL, and even though it is not easy, find the COURAGE to get in the trenches and on the frontlines to stop young people from hurting themselves and others. In this thought-provoking episode, veteran educator, husband, and devoted father, Reginald Brock, shares the ways he was able to navigate the mean streets of Chicago and not succumb to negative peer pressure. Having good mentors, especially good parents; getting the right people to teach character; and moving children out of toxic environments are just a few of the solutions discussed.
