Things You Can Do Each Day as a Parent That Make You a Superhero

You might not wear a cape, but that doesn't mean you can't be a superhero—especially in the eyes of your children. Being a superhero isn't just about your origin story or even flying around a metropolis doing everything in your power to save the world from the bad guys. It's about harnessing what makes you special and using it to help others. In being a parent, you have the opportunity each day to be the hero your kid admires. It doesn't take much, either. Believe it or not, taking time out of your busy schedule to read your child a story or push them so they can soar higher and higher on the swings makes you Superman or Superwoman in their view. There's only so much you can do to protect the planet from villains and other evildoers, but you have many expert-approved options when it comes to the little things you can do that will loom large in the lives of your children.
