New Blog: Imagination Is Your Superpower, by Dr. Susan Daniels
Yes, imagination is your superpower! Imagination allows us to draw upon our capacities for creativity and visual thinking – for going beyond what is to what might be. Creativity, visual thinking and imagination allow us to picture possibilities. In our imaginations, we can explore ideas, things, people, and places that are not part of our present environment. We can imagine things that have happened in the past, and we can think of things that are not real – or not real yet. We can use our creativity and visual thinking to design new possibilities.
The message of this episode is simple and powerful: “No parent is perfect and that is ok!” because parenting requires courage, energy, and love. Parenting is not about being perfect. Parenting is messy.
A mother of five children (including a child with autism), Einat explains that all children, in their own way, have their own specialness and needs. Einat teaches us all how to appreciate and accept each child as an individual, with their own quirks, gifts, and flaws.
Dr. Dan and Kurt’s conversation will make listeners laugh out loud. They discuss comedy, kids, Dad humor, parenting, Dad-ing, and how laughter really is the best medicine.
Kurt Braunohler is an actor, comedian, and late-night regular, with numerous screen credits including “The Big Sick” and "Long Shot" as well as the upcoming horror film “Barbarian.”

"I want to raise children who won't be alarmed when they feel negative emotions. When they fight with loved ones. When they will have to explain without pointing a finger. I think that's happiness!
