Through this experience, Stephanie highlights the value of letting children get bored to stimulate their imagination and foster meaningful experiences.

"They just have to know what to expect. Once they know what to expect, then things are going to go a lot better for you." - Stephanie Dove Blake
"But, you know, the city of Jamja has been a story that has stayed with us. And the biggest AHA moment for me was it isn't always about what they're exposed to or, you know, the negative side effects of just being on screens a whole bunch. It's also what is not happening." - Stephanie Dove Blake
"It includes your imagination running wild. It includes you getting bored and hearing that little tick inside of a calling or a talent or something that's just raring to get out." - Stephanie Dove Blake
