The author, a leading authority in the psychology of creativity, has found that creativity is often misidentified as
imitation, clever rebellion, or even giftedness. But creativity is a process that draws upon talents, education, skills,
thinking & working styles, and inherent intelligence. And it is motivation, which must be generated by and originate
from within the child, that is the single most important ingredient in the creativity recipe. Paradoxically, in our
sincerest efforts to help foster creativity through reward and encouragement, we most often end up destroying it.
This book is filled with dozens of concrete, hands-on exercises & techniques that can help a parent or teacher keep
creativity alive at home and at school. Rich with anecdotes and interviews, and drawing upon what we know of the
childhoods of some of our most cherished and celebrated musicians, writers & artists, this research is sure to be
helpful to any adult wanting to encourage a child be all he or she can be, happily, healthily & creatively. 6¼” x
9¼” hardcover, 212 pgs.
