Reviews:
“This book is refreshing. I know schools cannot be expected to take charge of fostering creativity in children and teenagers anytime soon. Parents own this responsibility. This whole idea intrigues me. I’m reading this with a highlighter and sticky notes.”
RH Champion
“Eureka! Rick and Patti Shade have cracked the code on translating theoretical concepts on creativity into a practical, easy-to-implement how-to guide for busy parents, grandparents, and teachers. Each chapter is short, sweet, and down to earth–making it easy to select one of the more than 50 topics, obtain a quick overview, and immediately put into practice. This is a must-read for anyone who recognizes the importance of nurturing creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration in today’s youth in order to succeed in tomorrow’s world. Setting Minds Free helps inspire, invite, and integrate creativity into all our daily lives.”

“This book is an excellent reminder that in addition to attention to our kid’s academic growth we must also spend time and focus on cultivating our kid’s creative growth. This book contains tons of information on how to approach this cultivation both at home and in conjunction with school. As my youngest is preparing to enter kindergarten I will be sure to keep these ideas in mind as I select the school she will attend and remember to honor her creativity.”
