Abstract | As caring adults in the lives of youth, many people are privileged to witness young people discover an aspect of themselves that gives them joy and energy, and propels them toward exploration and expression. When this aspect of their lives--their "spark"--is connected to people and places that encourage it, people also witness something amazing. People see the emerging self in a nurturing context where a young person has the opportunity and courage to choose a healthy path--in essence, to thrive. In this article, the author calls for moving beyond a preoccupation with what is wrong with today's youth to build the relationships and environments where all young people can thrive and flourish.
