How My Son Built Confidence: Power Rangers Megaforce Scooter & Helmet!

My Son Enjoying His Power Rangers Megaforce Scooter & Helmet!

I'm proud to be a Saban Brand-Bassador and my kids and I think that the Power Rangers are just great!  The Power Rangers values include Standing for What's Right, Teamwork and Cooperation, Confidence, Physical Activity and Healthy Eating, and Caring and Friendship.  These are important values for my children to embrace, and ones that my husband and I actively promote in our own household.  You can read more about the Power Rangers emPOWER Program here!

My Son In His Power Rangers Megaforce Helmet 

This summer, my 5-year old has been working on building his Confidence, one of the Power Rangers' values.  To help with his confidence, we've encouraged him to learn new skills that he can feel proud of.  One of his new skills is learning how to swim, and at each subsequent swimming lesson I see his confidence growing.  Even this Monday, my son came home from daycamp and told me that he had--for the very first time--jumped off the diving board (in a lifejacket) and loved it!  He was absolutely exhilarated by this experience! 

Previously my son would have backed away and told himself that he wasn't capable of jumping off the diving board.  But the swimming lessons have really helped him challenge his concepts of what he can and cannot do.  And now when he goes to the swimming pool next, he will have the self-confidence to do what was once impossible to him. 

This Power Rangers Megaforce Scooter Has Made My Son More Confident About His Balance

A few days ago a big box arrived from our good friend the Power Rangers.  I opened it up, and at once I knew it was meant for my 5-year old son.  It was a Power Rangers Megaforce safety helmet and a folding Power Rangers Megaforce Scooter!  Not only were the items for ages 5+ years, but they were also my son's favourite colours: red and black.

My son was very excited to receive his own scooter and safety helmet, and right away he wanted to try it out.  He gave the scooter a try, and right away he said he could not do it when he lost his balance.  I could see he was frustrated, and had tears in his eyes.  I worked with him gently over the next 15 minutes to show him the basic scooting techniques.  He started to get the hang of it, and there in front of my eyes, I watched my son's confidence grow.  He could scoot!  He could balance!  He could scoot and balance on his brand new Power Rangers Megaforce scooter and he was glowing with pride.

Check out the VINE video of him below, showing how confident he became on his scooter with just a little bit of practise!
