Teachers of young children have become increasingly vocal opponents of superhero play, voicing concern about
behavior in their classrooms. More and more teachers are choosing to ban superhero play from their classrooms in response to their concerns.
This workshop was well received at the National Association for the Education of Young Children Conference and continues to be one of our most popular topics.
Building a Web of Relationships
In this workshop we will examine:
- Our feelings about superhero play
- Why boys are more interested in this type of dramatic play
- How this behavior can play a developmental function necessary for young children's healthy growth
- How, by banning superhero play, teachers may be denying themselves a powerful opportunity to teach about values, respect, safety and living in a democratic social group
The latest brain research shows that the most important factor for healthy development in young children is a
network of warm, nurturing relationships.
