What would our world be like without creativity and imagination? How would be find a way to balance between the sometime harshness of reality with the enjoyment of being whisked away into a different world where limits seem to melt away as the impossible is magically possible?

Where would we be without those creative thinkers? The true visionaries in history are men and women that thought “outside” the box and dared to go against convention to bring about a new light on an old problem.

As a mother I feel that one of the greatest gifts I can give to my son is to foster his imagination and help his creativity grow. Last week we talked about ways to help our children find their inner voice, become a cheerleader for themselves and others using the Yeah! Yeah! Out Loud tools.

This week we are talking about how we can encourage creativity and imagination in our youth. I am joined this week by a very talented writer, Mollie Kehl Penrod, she is the author of “The Secret of Wellington’s Map” an young adult action adventure that was published in June 2008.
