Two counselors? HUH? An easy way to think of your two
counselors is CatDog. Where the other one stops is where the
other one begins, but they never split apart!

How adults can help fuel the Spark? Talk to children about their Spark.
If they do not think they have a Spark, suggest Sparks that you see!
Help eliminate obstacles that might be in their way.
Only 43% of young people feel that they receive support from 3 or more non-parent adults.
Be a Spark champion!

Remember…
It is your child’s Spark, not yours.
Allow your child to research their Spark on their own.
Let them come up with their own conclusions about a Spark.
