A heartfelt look at the everyday heroes in a child’s life — and how we can be heroes too.
Children usually learn "hero" from capes and screens, which puts it safely out of reach. Pointing the word at the people actually in their life — the ones who show up, drive the carpool, stay calm — does two things at once: it builds real gratitude, and it makes being a hero something a small person could plausibly attempt today.
A good moment to reach for it: Thanksgiving-style gratitude conversations, a family milestone, or any week that could use more noticing.
