Raising a Superhero

14 Jul 2010 by Mary K, No Comments »

You have to admit… we love our superheroes.  Young wizards, Jedi Knights, vampire slayers, sexy vampires, goddess warriors or Superman, they attract us like magnets.

Is it the idea of being chosen for a powerful purpose, being endowed with unique powers, being different and special that appeals to us so much? Might that be because we each are all that??

Do you see your child as a superhero?

Are you willing to see yourself as one?

Isn’t it true that each of us is unique, filled with incredible gifts and powers that are expressed in a way that is ours alone?

Of course, most of us have learned to hide and deny this. Some of us were even taught it’s arrogant to see yourself as special. Instead, we work hard at ‘fitting in’ and getting along.  We focus on our flaws instead of our brilliance and spend our days trying to “improve” ourselves.

But let me ask you this –  is that really what you want for your child?

Can you imagine what the world would be like if we encouraged our children to not only accept but embrace their superpowers?!?

Ah… yet remember what Spiderman says, “With great power comes great responsibility.” What happens now?

EVERYTHING CHANGES!

Because when you openly and with great acceptance celebrate your child’s superpowers, how could he possibly NOT dedicate himself to using those fantastic, unique powers for good? And once recognized they will be explored, developed and utilized! Amazing!

Think on this… don’t you owe it to your child and the world to guide them into discovering and developing what they’re really capable of?

The truth is… you AND your child are ALREADY superheroes! Your gifts are unique to you and are greatly needed by the world.

What will you do to encourage your child to explore her superpowers? Dare her… and him… to be the superhero you already know they are!
