The Spark Station in Action_ Real Families, Real Results Part 2
Last week, I shared an experiment I did with real families using the Spark Station. I reiterated the five rules that make everything else work and shared real family experiences for three of those rules. Today, we will cover the last two rules. I am also going to address what to do if it isn't working for your family and how to manage the hard days. Join me as I round out all the information so you can begin to find successful family connection with this fun tool.
The Spark Station in Action: Real Families, Real Results Part 1
I want to tell you about an experiment I did years ago. I had been talking to families about the Spark Station and quickly realized that something wasn't clicking for a lot of them. They liked the idea, but it wasn't working the way it should. I could see clearly that these parents were missing the vision of the real power this tool could have in their homes. So, I decided to test what I knew worked with real families — five of them, over two months. The families were wonderfully different from each other. I talked face-to-face with parents and children, and what I learned from those two months shaped everything I now teach about the Spark Station. What I found was this: the tool itself wasn't the problem. The principles behind it were. Join me as I share stories and examples from these real families that illustrate how and why the Five Principles of Power work. I want to convince you that these rules work, not just in learning but in family connection and fun.
