What Kids Need: Thriving and Sparks

SPARKS are…
the hidden flames in kids that excite them and tap into their true passions.

SPARKS come from…
the gut. They motivate and inspire. They’re authentic passions, talents, assets, skills, and dreams.

SPARKS can…
be musical, athletic, intellectual, academic, relational—from playing the violin to enjoying working with kids or senior citizens.

SPARKS can…
ignite a lifelong vocation or career, or balance other activities to create an emotionally satisfying, enriched life.

SPARKS get…
kids going on a positive path, away from the conflicts and negative issues—violence, promiscuity, drugs and alcohol—that give teens a bad name and attract so much negative energy.

And SPARKS give you the five steps for igniting sparks in your teens.
