Our kids are in crisis. How can you help?

In summer 2022, we tested our creativity training with elementary students: piloting a two-week study with 3rd-5th graders, the age when creativity in students begins to decline.

As parents and educators, our goal was to determine if the same Storythinking techniques that increase creativity, resilience, and self-efficacy in US Army Special Operators, trauma nurses, MBA students, and business executives would yield similar results in children.

It did.

Our campers showed substantial increases in creativity, resilience and self-efficacy (The Journal of Creativity).
