Unfortunately, I see myself in some of your characterizations (painful, but important). I veer way to the extreme in policing the toys and screen exposure my kids get, and they still seem to lack 'imagination'. Really, what they lack is the desire to play by themselves, and often I lack the desire to play with them (that is the painful part). When we play together, they have great imaginations, but they want my participation more than anything. Food for thought. Thanks for writing.
