Did you know that pretending to be a superhero can make your child a better student?
It’s called the Batman Effect! Research shows that you can perform better on challenging tasks if you adopt an alter ego (like Batman!) who would be good at the task.
This works because when you adopt an alter ego, you’re doing something called self-distancing - which basically helps you take a step back from your feelings and view a situation objectively.
When you do that, research shows that you can improve your self-control and increase your willpower to work on challenging tasks.
This can work for all of us but is especially helpful with children!
So when your kids encounter a tough problem at school and want to give up, instead of asking themselves, Am I working hard on this problem?
They could ask themselves, Is Batman working hard on this problem?
Or even better, because your kids get to create their own superheroes with Team8, they can ask themselves, Is my superhero working hard on this problem?
In doing so, your kids will start identifying with their superheroes more and more.
And actually, we kind of hope they will even start seeing themselves AS a superhero, so when they’re faced with hard situations at school or in life, they can ask themselves - What would my superhero do – and then act accordingly.

你知道嗎，扮成超級英雄可以讓你的孩子成為更好的學生？
這就是強大的英雄英雄！研究攻勢，如果你採用一個擅長完成任務的另一個自己（比如在蝙蝠俠！），你就可以得到更好的表現。
這是有效的，因為當你採用另一個自己的時候，你正在做一些從自我疏遠的事情——這幾乎可以幫助你感受退後一步，那麼這張地全景一個情況。
當你破壞時，研究證明你可以提高你的自控力並增強你的意志力來處理具有挑戰性的任務。
這對我們所有人都有效，但對兒童尤其有幫助！
所以當你的孩子在學校遇到一個棘手的問題想要放棄時，不要問自己，我在這個問題上努力了嗎？
他們可以問自己，蝙蝠俠是否在努力解決這個問題？
或者甚至更好，因為您的孩子可以使用 Team8 創建自己的超級英雄，他們可以問自己，我的超級英雄是否正在努力解決這個問題？
通過這樣做，您的孩子將開始越來越認同他們的超級英雄。
實際上，我們有點希望他們甚至開始將自己視為超級英雄，所以當他們在學校或生活中遇到困難時，他們可以問問自己——我的超級英雄會做什麼——然後採取相應的行動。
誰是你的超級英雄另一個自我？請在下面的評論中告訴我們！
