Take the 2024 survey to share your advice and win the chance for free earrings! www.mommadeplans.com/survey -- Creativity in your kids doesn't look like just arts and crafts; although that's what we typically associate with creativity. Today we unlearn creative standards and realize what creativity actually looks like... it has a lot more to do with our mindset than our painting skills. There's some awesome practical tips on how to teach the skill of creativity. And we also get reminders on ways we may be supressing our kids creativity which I have totally been guilty of... curious if you're a lego creativity squasher as well?! Here's some takeaways to listen for: -Need for creativity especially now in the age of AI & social media -Creativity isn't just arts and crafts -Exposure to all the creative domains -The steps to growing a creative mindset -Creative independence learned from Legos -Learning to be silly as an adult -Being a creative role model Meet Jeff Fajans, PhD- I’m the proud dad of Hendrix, a lively 5.5-year-old, and the creator of a unique style of kids’ music that actually rocks under the artist name MrBoodaddy. Tess Taylor, President of the National Association for Record Industry Professionals, has even dubbed my style as “Beastie Boys for Babies” – a blend that's as fun for parents as it is for kids. Since Hendrix’s birth, I’ve committed to producing an album each year (until Hendrix gets old enough to tell me to stop cause I'm embarrassing him:)) – a journey filled with funky, hard-rocking, hip-hoppin’ tunes and relatable, hilarious stories I’d love to share with your audience. My work ranges from lively tracks like “Trash Truck,” “No Shirt Like My Daddy” “Mama’s Gonna Love It,” “Sippy Cup,” “Phantom Poop,” and “Daddy Werewolf,” all available on Spotify and wherever anyone streams their music. Just this year, I was invited to join the Recording Academy as a voting member. In the future I’ll submit my own albums for Grammy consideration in the Best Children’s Music category. Beyond music, I'm a coach specializing in creative performance and leadership, helping creative entrepreneurs turn their visions into reality and bring their biggest ideas to life. I have a PhD in Positive Psychology from Claremont Graduate University, where I studied under Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the renowned author of “Flow.” Creative Parenting is a passion of mine - I’ve written a guide for parents on how to ignite and develop their kids’ creative superpowers.
