I Almost Pulled My Kid Out of PlanetSpark — But Here’s Why I Didn’t

 

Two months into the PlanetSpark journey, I was ready to pull the plug. Classes felt repetitive. My son didn’t seem excited. And I was questioning whether we were wasting time and money.

Then something happened.

I overheard him giving instructions to his younger cousin while playing a game:

“Let me explain the rules in steps. First, you pick a card, then you…”

He sounded calm. Clear. Like a mini facilitator. It hit me — maybe I was expecting fireworks, but the magic was in the micro-changes.

Here’s what shifted my decision:

  • I asked the teacher for an honest review. She showed me his video recordings — comparing Day 1 vs Week 6. It was night and day.
     

  • My son wrote an apology letter for breaking a vase. It was so well structured, I almost forgave him on the spot.
     

I realized PlanetSpark isn’t about “visible excitement” — it’s about visible articulation.

We stayed. And in month 3, he volunteered to host his class's Zoom farewell. Full circle moment.
