To a child, the ultimate superheroes aren't on a screen — they're sitting right across the dinner table. A recent Kiddie Academy Educational Child Care survey finds 71% of children look up to their own parents as role models. What's more, children aren't selecting their heroes because of their super speed or flawless ways. Traits like bravery, strength, kindness and honesty outrank superficial heroic traits. According to the survey, 82% of children whose parents were polled want to be considered a hero someday, which means parents' hard work may be paying off. It's important to allow children to find themselves and have role models who support their dreams and the qualities they most want to embody. Cheers to real-world heroes!
