Amabile captured the following wise words in her book, Growing Up Creative: Nurturing a Lifetime of Creativity.
The main vision I have for my children is for them to be happy. That's my goal. If they can be happy with themselves, I've achieved a whole lot... Jason was always wonderful. The vision I have for him is that he can do anything he wants. And I've told him he can do anything he wants. He has showed me a lot of
what he can be. All of the kids have. I see each one's one strengths and weaknesses, and I go with those. The vision didn't start with me; they showed me.
Play with your kids; especially, quit instructing them. Just go with them. Let them tell you what things are about instead of you always telling them, because they see things in a totally different, sometimes bizarre, sometimes wonderful way. (Amabile, 2007, p.102-103)
