I took this photo of Grayson playing out in the yard with his new "The Flash" pjs on and I thought to myself, "this would be perfect with some kind of superhero quote" and I found one that I thought fit!
"I think you just have to appreciate who you are & hopefully they will see what a superhero is about."
That.is.perfect.
I think everyone has a little bit of superhero in them but for the special needs kiddos out there, I think they ARE what superheros are made of!
We just need to be so positive to our kiddos, show them love and acceptance and teach them/reassure them how truly amazing they are despite there "differences" from other children and they will catch on and learn to appreciate themselves for exactly who they are and sure enough the people around them will how truly amazing they are...how truly superhero-like they are.
Special Needs kids.... with physical disabilities, developmental delays, cognaitve disablities...ALL special needs kiddos are truly an inspriation to us all and really do embody what I think of a superhero.
I decided to look up "SuperHero" and find a definition that I saw cute and fitting for our SN kiddos.
UrbandDictionary.com defines SuperHero as:
1. A being with extraordinary physical or mental powers, far beyond the range of normal human ability, who uses these powers to protect the innocent and for the general good.
2. One who is granted such powers by some external means, such as advanced technology or magic, and uses them with similar intent.
3. Batman.
2. One who is granted such powers by some external means, such as advanced technology or magic, and uses them with similar intent.
3. Batman.
#1 and #2 are pretty accurate in my opinion though and if you are a parent of a SN child, or a family member, or dear friend.... you will understand the meaning more than others :)
