Why "Unlimited Options" lead to zero ideas.
Picture this, you have a new project, could be redecorating, could be a creative idea, it might be as simple as Friday night dinner. Your options are unlimited. You’re not constrained by time or budget. So what happens? If you’re anything like me you either resort back to something tried and true- can you say Friday night pizza? Or you freeze. Why? Too many choices. Now, let’s look at this through the eyes of the kids in our lives. If you really want to freeze a creative brain, give it "infinite possibilities." When we tell a kid they can make anything, they often end up making nothing. This is called "The Paradox of Choice." True creativity doesn't happen in a void; it happens inside a Box. Constraints, the "walls" of the box, actually fuel the brain. When you have fewer resources (choices), you are forced to use them in more clever ways. This is why some of the greatest inventions were born in tiny garages or during times of scarcity. I challenge you to work together as a team, and see what happens when you learn to love the "walls." Instead of asking for more tools, we are going to see how much we can do with almost nothing. We’re shifting from "I don't have enough" to "What else can this do?"

@Mary Nunaley I'm not sure how to answer that. Presenting it is one thing, another is the environment they grow up in. I help them embrace struggle through pushing them gently and holding them accountable.

@Mary Nunaley It depends on the teen's age a little. If he's older, I'd encourage separating from the family to some extent. If he's younger, the approach needs to be a little more coordinated with the parents. First and foremost, I need to understand where the family and the kid are at. For the most part, though, I believe in shifting mostly his behavior, independent of what his parents are doing.

Storytime
Here’s a fun activity I would play with my kids when we traveled. It ties in great with yesterday’s prompt of myth making and storytelling. When playing at home, everyone builds on the story by adding a sentence or idea. I would designate one person as scribe. The scribe writes down the story and reads it back at the end and also plays. For our online version, I’ll start the story and everyone gets to add a sentence. Rules: - One sentence at a time - You can add more than one sentence but they can’t be in a row. - Copy the existing story into a comment and add your sentence. Story ends at 11:59 pm CDT today. I’ll start. Tagging a few to get us started. Thanks @Allan R. for the first sentence. @Daniel Cavaretta @Adam Formanek @Betty Jo Winters @Mayelice Castro @Andrea Quintal Portas @Anna Brown @Janell Bitton @Blue Mojo @Celia Kibler @Charlie Svensson @Aurelie Delahalle @Gus Gray @Max Orlewicz @Lisa Vanderveen @Mukkove Johnson

It was a beautiful spring day and the Kid went out in the yard to play. At this time of day on the street, the front yard was great for children to meet. Mom called out, ā€œHave fun!ā€ The Kid said, ā€œThanks, Mom!ā€ And proceeded to play. That's when the Kid saw one friend "Fox" flying a kite.
