Hi, I'm Mallory Kastin. Normally in this feed you get Culture Gabfest.

But today, we're giving you something a little different.

A new show about learning to shift your perspective,

to reconnect with what's pure and innocent in ourselves and each other.

That news show is a podcast I host called How to Raise a Parent, produced by Slate Studios

in collaboration with Dairy Pure. In it, I talk to parents and experts about what makes kids so fearless, creative,

and good at making friends, and what we as adults can learn from them.

On this episode, I speak with Danielle Crissa, a mother, designer,

and author, along with Tom Sturgis, father, author and music executive, about how we can

reconnect with the pure creativity that came

naturally to us as children. If you like what you hear today, check out how to raise

a parent wherever you get your podcasts. This paid podcast is produced by Slate Studios

in partnership with Dairy Pure.

What does the word imagination mean to you?

The word imagination means you have to like put a bunch of pieces together

even if they don't totally fit together.

If something you don't like, you could imagine and something else.

Tell me about your favorite make believe game.

My favorite make believe game that I made up is a game where me and my friends

pretend to be wolves and we live as a family.

What is your child taught you about creativity and play?

I'm one of those moms.
