When frustration sparks, how do you keep it from taking over?

Ian and the Spark Realm follows a young boy who struggles to stay calm when things don't go his way. After a moment of frustration at home, Ian finds himself transported to a dazzling world made of pure energy-a place where sparks leap through the sky and every thought seems to move at lightning speed. There, he meets Flicker, a wise and playful fox who helps him understand what happens inside when frustration builds too high.

Through gentle guidance, Ian learns that frustration isn't something to fear or hide-it's a signal, a spark that can guide him toward patience and self-control. With Flicker's help, he discovers how to slow down his racing energy, breathe through the storm, and turn his spark into strength.
