Originally released by Educational Activities in New York, I’ve Got Super Power was created to impart vital information about personal safety to children in a non-threatening and cheerful manner. Children who are assertive and self-confident are less likely to be victims of child abuse. Therefore it is important that we teach these skills to children, even when they appear to conflict with our traditional standards for children such as complete cooperation, politeness and a willingness to share. To protect our children, we must alert them to the fact that although good manners are usually in order, there are times when it is not only appropriate but imperative that they react firmly to protect themselves.
These songs present self-assertiveness skills and illustrate children’s rights to act in their own interests. It is important that the adults in their lives complement these ideas with love and affection to create healthy, happy, self-confident and assertive children!
A parent/teacher guide includes song lyrics, pre-listening discussion questions and follow-up activities.
