As we strive to protect our children鈥檚 imaginations from negative influences, are we running an even greater risk 鈥� of starving those imaginations altogether? Writer Patrick Ness, author of the 鈥楥haos Walking鈥� trilogy, and Dr Charles Fernyhough, whose writing examines the development of childhood language and memories, join Matthew Sweet to explore what stimulates young minds and how children cope in an unstable world. Recorded on Saturday 26th October 2013 in front of a live audience at Sage Gateshead as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking festival.
