Super heroes play a huge role in children's brains, as these characters positively influence imaginative and social development. The Spanish Pediatric Society explains how superheroes develop language and problem-solving skills, fostering a taste for science, mathematics, and technology.
Superheroes in children represent strength and power that makes them feel somehow protected and helps them to fade their fears by changing the perspective in the face of everyday adversities and the solution they can give to those adversities.
It is clear that we must stimulate their imagination and these characters help our children to become super heroes at times, bringing a significant and enriching contribution to their character and their integral development:

Just as the superheroes contribute positively, it is important to monitor and direct parents in all the activities that their children carry out, this accompaniment allows the child to differentiate reality with fantasy, to understand that it is only a game and imagination, of In the same way, redirecting them so that they do not imitate behaviors that may affect them in inappropriate behaviors, they must be reinforced more, in the value of superheroes, in what they can admire and accompany each teaching with morals and motivational words to be friendly, supportive and empathetic with people.
