Abstract | Superhero play has long been thought of as violent, aggressive, and disruptive. Some argue that aggressive play should not be allowed because it exposes children to inappropriate concepts and attitudes and sends the message that the use of aggression can achieve a desired goal. However, educators know that pretend play is an avenue for healthy emotional development. Pretend play builds children's understanding of emotion, which helps them regulate their feelings. Acting out themes and stories in pretend play lets children practice communicating their emotions and leads toward emotional regulation. Teachers can further promote children's social-emotional skills by supporting and scaffolding pretend play, expanding on children's themes and roles. Using these strategies, all types of pretend play, including superhero play, can have a positive impact. This article shares the experience of a preschool teacher, author Jacqueline Radell, who integrated prosocial superhero play in her Head Start classroom. She offers strategies for implementing prosocial superhero play. Early childhood educators can use these strategies to address all aggressive behavior, not just superhero play. (ERIC). |
