How much fun it was to imagine yourself as a superhero, and take on the powers you wished for in everyday life.
Children naturally imitate fearless superheroes who can overcome any obstacle in their path.
When children begin leaping and tumbling about, however, adults worry that accidents will happen. Sometimes adults discourage superhero play for fear that it will become too disruptive, or that children will engage in it at inappropriate times. Keep in mind that this type of play gives children the chance to face their fears and show off physical feats. When children begin pretending they are superheroes, adults can help them make the most of it. Point out when superheroes show kindness and helpfulness to others, and praise children when they do the same.
