Out-of-the-box thinking is a vital part of not just how we think, but how we survive. It's an essential part of how our brains solve complex problems. And guess who science found is best at it - kindergarteners. For a lot of reasons, they've got a natural genius for it. There's only one problem…

...by the time they're teenagers, most kids' ability to think creatively plummets. Societal, educational, and psychological factors all play a part, but one big reason for the drop is a simple lack of practice. As good as they are at it, kids just don't get many chances to use out-of-the-box thinking.

The more kids use their talent for out-of-the-box thinking, the more likely they'll be to keep that skill sharp and at the ready. Today and as they grow. This helps them be better at solving problems, making mistakes (and not giving up), adapting to shifting challenges, and learning to trust their unique ideas.
