Children name dad their hero

Good news for dads, who’ve been ranked number one as children’s top hero in a survey of close to 600 families.

Some 35.7% of respondents said their children class the male parent as their top role model for being ‘fun’ and ‘strong’.

One said their child’s dad was their number one hero because ‘he’s there every morning and night and is big and strong enough to give her rides on his shoulders’.
