Children play dress up to enhance their imagination and sometimes bring out their inner persona. Dress up and wearing what you don’t day to day is fun and playful, but it can go beyond that. The costumes we put on can send a message.
In the mind of a child, superheroes save the day. Wearing a superhero costume for a child can call upon their inner strength. For many children who are struggling and need a little bit of miracle in their lives, the power of manifestation is everything. For a child, a small cape can help give them the power to put on their daily armor and call upon their inner strength to get through the daily challenges.
The imagination of a superhero who saves the day helps a child believe in survival and placing that strength in themselves can lead to their own survival. There can be a cape or any other small object you can find for your child that will help them feel they have the power to get beyond a challenge. With this concept you can also empower your child to give and strengthen their mindfulness.
Today, as we think about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we remember his vision that “differences mean strength” and he lived to help others.
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ “– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Montgomery, Alabama, 1957.
As you empower your child with the strengths of survival also teach them the act of giving. A wonderful way to give is Capes For Kids by Enchanted Makeovers. They make capes for children in homeless shelters and hospitals. They also have a campaign for cape donations. Make a few capes with your child while having them participate in the therapeutic art of making the capes, then your child keeps one and you donate the rest. You can go together to give to a local shelter for women and children or a hospital. You can also send the capes to Enchanted Makeovers:
