Click for full show notes, exercises, and word-for-word scripts from this episodeHow does imagination and creativity work? And how can we help our teens to think outside of the box? This week we spoke with Jim Davies, a leading expert on the science of imagination and the author of the book Riveted. He explained that the key to raising teens who can think for themselves is to reward them when they take risks--even if the risks don't end up turning out very well.We also have to be very careful about how we offer feedback on our teens' work and progress. It is important to encourage teens and offer praise but it is also important to be realistic. You need to be able to tell them when they aren't doing a good job.How can you walk this fine line as a parent? Jim explains it this week on the podcast.
