Part 2 Sparks- Dr. Peter Benson discusses Sparks.

http://ignitesparks.org
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 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 gives you the five steps for igniting sparks in YOUR teens.

It's too bad that in a year & a half, barely 300 people have viewed this video. EVERY parent, every school administrator, every person that truly cares about our kids developing into adults who care deeply & make worthy contributions to life & its myriad problems should take this message to heart. One suggestion, 'tho, sparks come in the form of hard sciences and math too - don't forget to mention them! Administration might perk up their ears if they hear "rising math & science scores"!
