Every Child Has Hidden Strengths. But They're Not Always Easy to See

Many kids struggle to put their strengths into words. They might feel "good at stuff" but can't explain what makes them special.

Traditional education often focuses on fixing weaknesses instead of celebrating what children naturally excel at.

As a parent, you want to support and encourage your child—but without a clear picture of their unique abilities, it's hard to know where to start.

That's where HeroType comes in.
