We know all parents think their children are super. But at our latest Twitter chat, we discovered what kind of ‘superpowers’ they really have.

To celebrate National Superhero Day we asked parents at our #PJMasksHeroes Twitter chat what superpowers their children have (as well as those needed by parents). The answers might surprise you…!

What superpowers do kids really have?

What we discovered was interesting — yes, we’d all like to fly or teleport (that’s our personal favourite) but the powers our children actually have really count for something!

Kindness

My son’s superhero power is making me smile and laugh every single day even when I’m feeling blue @KirstyConnor7

Compassion. She’s always helping out the new kids in school and showing them round. Everyone loves her. She’s great 🙂 @leeritsoncomp

My 4yo son loves PJ masks! His superpower is definitely being kind to others – if anyone is upset when they are dropped at nursery he will go and play with them and make sure they’re ok 😊 #PJMasksHeroes pic.twitter.com/TbwI7WaOBj

One of the many superhero powers my son, Rex, possesses is the ability to be kind and share. He absolutely loves Jaffa cakes – but will always offer me some! @BritMums #PJMasksHeroes pic.twitter.com/j9cT8Rdjhn

Animal Magic

@BritMums My daughter seems to have the super power ability to attract animals lol! Whenever we go to the zoo or farms etc the animals always seem to come over (which she of course absolutely loves!). #PJMasksHeroes pic.twitter.com/q6W0PT99tL

My “Wonder Willow” is a superhero for so many reasons – she’s strong, kind and great fun. She’s a great big sister to my youngest daughter who has Down’s Syndrome and great little sister to their brother who needs extra support too. #PJMAsksHeroes @BritMums pic.twitter.com/6Chc70PHaT

My daughter’s secret super hero power is just being super helpful and amazing – she set up this game and gave full assistance to both her brother and sister and made sure they both had a fab time playing together #PJMasksHeroes pic.twitter.com/dRGrSzvZpF

Bravery — of all types

Home from work. Got my little boys their dinner, bath, pyjamas, bed. Run a nice hot bath for myself. Light candles. Grab some tea. Come back upstairs, the biggest mutant spider you’ve ever seen just chilling on the tap. My absolute PJMasksHeroes aged 4/7 ran in and took it away @Elizabeth_Lucyy

#PJMasksHeroes my daughter loves Owlette because she wears glasses just like her. My daughter is my hero as despite her learning difficulties, she always tries her best pic.twitter.com/VSXTS0kgMg

Getting up to mischief

My little boy is just starting to mimic TV characters. Last week I caught him holding a pair of my knickers up to his head (stolen from the radiator). I looked at the TV and realised he was trying to wear them like the ‘supers’ do @ToxicFairies

My smallest child’s super power is Super Michevious-ness! Including getting herself stuck in our ensuite shower 😅 #PJMasksHeroes pic.twitter.com/O9tSjlQ30h

Apparently being super speedy! I think it should be super sneaky!! I remember my eldest avoiding helping me with the tidying up and when I told her she always had to help tidy at nursery, she said she went to the toilet instead!! @Mummydinosaur7

Who says flour is limited to baking? Loving the resourcefulness here! #PJMasksHeroes https://t.co/EAcyPaIwoH

@BritMums Dominik is 4 and still didn’t master to write his name. but look at this creative writing on our leather sofa? He was very proud! So was I first proper written word! #PJMasksHeroes p.s. tip from mumofsuperheroes: hairspray removes pen from leather in seconds! 😎😉 pic.twitter.com/MDMl4J1mxD

Just Because

My little superhero’s power is her tenacity and fearlessness. Five minutes before this picture was taken she had fallen and bust her nose. She was straight back up there leading the away ahead of her two older brothers! #PJMasksHeroes @BritMums pic.twitter.com/mCORxKIev3

My DS (4) can always find room for ice cream. It’s a gift. @MadeleineRich

My daughter is a superhero because she takes every diagnosis like a champion. She accepts that mum is always sick and never complains that she misses out on stuff that all the other kids get to do. She’s wise beyond her years @purpleplaits

Both of my boys have super chatter power – the ability to talk and talk and talk! No idea where they get it from……. @ThatLiz

Being fearless is a great super power and one that can sometimes feel hard to encourage! #PJMasksHeroes pic.twitter.com/MGfU5u4KM3

It has to be multitasking and remembering everything for the whole household (Including my husband lol). I am basically a human diary and reminder system for our house lol! @Tantrums2Smiles

PJ Masks — the kids who turn into superheroes

The chat was sponsored by PJ Masks, an animated show about three kids who live ordinary lives by day but transform into superheroes at night, celebrating heroism and empowerment.

By day, Connor, Amaya and Greg go to school like everyone else. As night falls and they put on their pyjamas and activate their animal amulets, they magically transform into superheroes – Catboy, Owlette and Gekko – and become the PJ Masks!

Together they embark on action-packed adventures, solving mysteries and mayhem across the city. Watch out night-time baddies – the PJ Masks are on their way, into the night to save the day!

Two brand new PJ Masks episodes are premiering on Tiny Pop on April 28^th (National Superhero Day) at 8.30am, 10.00, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm.

Tiny Pop is available on FREEVIEW 207 | YOUVIEW 207 | SKY 617 | VIRGIN 737 | FREESAT 605.
