Give children imaginative space

“I’ve created a space for my daughter to have a very imaginative life by removing television and video games,” the 44-year-old actress says. “It’s not like I banned them, we just never watched television when she was growing up.” As a result, Emerson has benefited greatly. Explains Teri,

“It left a space to fill with running around the yard pretending to be Peter Pan and making poison soup that you feed to the witch, just whatever crazy idea you want to come up with that ultimately, I think, lets children work out issues of their own growth and their own timely experience. I think that’s what dreams are about. That’s what imagination is about.”
