SPARC Red Deer and SPARC Sylvan Lake are pleased to announce the SPARC Family Challenge which offers 4 weeks of simple, free, family- friendly challenges, to complete at home or in your community to help your kids grow up great! By participating in the SPARC Family Challenge, you can create strong positive connections with your kids and within your family. The purpose is to educate families about the 40 Developmental Assets, which are research-proven life experiences or building blocks which all children need to grow up healthy, caring, and responsible. Research shows that the higher number of these assets a young person has, the more likely they are to thrive and to engage in positive behaviours and avoid risky behaviours. Through every day, achievable activities, we can build assets in our kids and help them thrive.  Families will receive a weekly email with ideas on how to build assets in their children and can win awesome prizes at the end of the 4 weeks.  Please see attached poster in PDF and PNG format. For more information, and to register, visit sparcreddeer.ca/events and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.  Registration deadline is November 1^st at noon. Please help us share this information with our community.
