For Families Eyes Only

(thanks to: www.freepc gamez.blogspot.com)

I’ll repeat that, “Family values from the Power Rangers?” Yep… something good for your kids from TV, DVDs and videos.

At first blush, these multi-colored heroes look awfully tame compared to most action figure heroes these days. Their story lines are deceptively simplistic.

Keep in mind, though, that kids can be pulled in by kindness just as much as they can by mayhem, so why not steer them in the better direction.

This is exactly what the Power Rangers series does.

Here are ten ways The Power Rangers teach and utilize basic family values…

They teach their young audience how to be a good person… The shows consistently feature these teens helping others. They are heroes so they fight a range of villains and evil forces while in full Power Ranger mode.

Most importantly, though, these youths also help out children, the homeless, and other needy folks even when they’re not powered up in their ranger form.
Power Rangers are also all about respect… Sometimes they learn the hard way to be more respectful, but by and large they are respectful of their elders and each other… and other life forms and places.

In a world where so many people seem to have lost the habit of respect, it’s always refreshing to see it exemplified by a popular media form.

Fans can also learn a lot about friendship from the Power Rangers… Many story lines deal with the problems and challenges faced by friends. These stories teach children that friendship and love can cross any boundary, from gender to race to age.

Loyalty is another important value that the Power Rangers exemplify… The heroes are loyal to each other as well as their values. Many story lines emphasize lessons based on this important trait.

Perseverance can also be learned from the Power Rangers… They face many struggles and challenges to master their skills and powers, as well as overcome their foes. Many times they face seeming insurmountable obstacles, but Power Rangers don’t give up.

They also demonstrate that determination and hard work are keys to success… Despite having super powers (or magic) and some pretty nifty tools, gadgets and assistants, nothing ever comes easy to the Power Rangers. They always win in the end, but they sometimes have to pay a pretty steep price for success.

Flexibility is another Power Ranger trait… Effective Rangers are flexible and adapt to changing circumstances, challenges, abilities, and allies. The ability to adapt and change is also key to success in real life, so this is a good lesson that can benefit us all.

Learning is also a priority for the Power Rangers… They place great value on their education and training, not only as Rangers, but also as people. They recognize that knowledge is power and can be one of the greatest weapons anyone possesses.

Taking care of yourself physically and emotionally… This is also an important Ranger lesson. The rangers recognize that they are more powerful and more effective if they are in top form… both physically and emotionally.

The Power Rangers teach us all how to be heroes… They show that regularly giving of ourselves for the greater good is what being a hero is all about.

This a win-win for parents and kids… learning family values while having fun.
