What's Your Daughter's Hero Type?

A 2-minute quiz for parents — discover exactly what your daughter needs most right now, and whether Be Your Own Hero is the right next step for her.

Q1. At a birthday party full of kids she doesn't know well, your daughter is most likely to…

Stick close to you or one trusted friend until she warms up.

Look for a group to latch onto, but worry about being included.

Head straight for the physical stuff — the trampoline, the games, moving her body.

Take charge of organizing a game for everyone.

Q2. When something upsets her at school, she tends to…

Keep it to herself — you find out days later, if at all.

Replay the friend-group drama with you in detail.

Get physically restless or fidgety — she needs to move it out.

Tell you exactly what happened and what she thinks should happen next.

Q3. If a friend was being unkind to her, your daughter would probably…

Freeze up and not know what to say in the moment.

Feel torn about "rocking the boat" with the friend group.

Not really clock it right away — she's busy doing her own thing.

Say something immediately, maybe a little too bluntly.

Q4. How does she feel about her own body and physical abilities?

It's not something she talks about much either way.

She compares herself to her friends a lot.

She's confident physically, sometimes to the point of being a little rough.

She's genuinely unsure of her coordination or strength, and avoids sports or gym class.

Q5. If a stranger or unfamiliar adult approached her acting oddly, she would likely…

Freeze and not know what to do or say.

Look around for a friend or adult to help her decide what to do.

Not really register the "off" feeling in her body until later.

React fast, but maybe not thoughtfully.

Q6. What do you find yourself wishing for her most right now?

That she'd speak up and take up more space.

That she'd find her people and feel like she belongs.

That she felt strong and capable in her own body.

That she'd learn when to pull back and read the room.

Q7. If you could give her one gift this year, it would be…

The confidence to use her voice, even when it's scary.

A few real friends who have her back.

A body she trusts and feels at home in.

The wisdom to know when boundaries matter more than being liked.
