  • Summary

  • Raising creative kids is a beautiful, worthwhile endeavor, but not one that is always neat and tidy!


    In today's episode, I’ve invited two of my good friends and fellow creatives—authors S. D. Smith and Carolyn Leiloglou—for a conversation on how our creative work as adults impacts our kids. We discuss everything from the challenges of nurturing creativity in our families to the influence of stories on our hearts and minds.


    S. D. Smith is the author of the wildly popular and perennial Let the Kids Speak favorite Green Ember series and is a father to four imaginative children.


    Carolyn Leiloglou is the author of the middle-grade fantasy series The Restorationists and a homeschool mom to four creative kids.


    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • How connecting with the wonder in our kids fuels and enhances creativity
    • The value of boredom (a best-kept creative secret!)
    • The nuances of how we measure creative success
