Thoughts for the Week:

The adult world can seem overwhelmingly large to children. As a result, children often pretend they have super powers and strength that will make them "superbig", "superfast", and "superstrong", even stronger than adults! Television superheroes can be very appealing to young children, but they can also be very frightening. We need to help children realize that the superheroes and monsters they see are either pictures that someone has drawn, or people dressed up in costumes and make-up. They're not real, but they often scare people because they look so real.
