Superflex Curriculum
Getting Started
Superflex is more than a superhero -- it is a curriculum, a full-fledged strategy for teaching younger (primarily 2nd-5th grade) students how to regulate their behaviors. Professionals and parents alike use this teaching approach to build in students their own inner superheroic thinking to take on various challenges, as represented by Unthinkable cartoon characters, such as Glassman, Brain Eater and others.

The Superflex Curriculum and Social Emotional Regulation
You Are a Social Detective begins the discussion about fundamental social behavior required before using Superflex -- including what it means to "have your body in the group," to "think with your eyes" and to do "expected" and "unexpected" behaviors and the affects these might have on others. The Superflex Curriculum builds on these concepts and then builds thinking capacities for specific regulation of social behavior.
