Children view parents, not celebrities, as role models

When asked what they considered to be a ‘top heroic trait’, 56% of kids said that this wasn’t about fighting baddies or wearing a cool outfit, but having the ability to help others. Of the participants in the study, which was commissioned by Fayre & Square and Wacky Warehouse, 39% said being a hero was about being kind, 32% said strong and 20% said confident. Spiderman pipped Superman to the post as the children’s favourite superhero.
