Disney Planes Fire & Rescue who is your little everyday hero? #FireandRescue #spon

“This blog post is part of a paid SocialMoms and Disney Planes Fire & Rescue blogging program. The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own.”

The word hero gets thrown around a lot and is kind of a hazy subject. What makes a hero? What is required to be one? Does is take an act of bravery or just looking a fear head on and conquering it? There are so many ways to be a hero the kind of heroes that go unnoticed and just do things because they need to be done, those are everyday heroes and my daughter is one of them.

When my daughter switched schools she became a selective mute and would only talk to a handful of people and that made life in school miserable for all of us. Her crippling fear of talking to anyone made asking and answering questions impossible, it also made getting through TSA fun.
