A highway hero is a child who:

Socially – knows how to be friendly, makes friends, resolves friendship issues, knows when and how to stick up for themselves.

Emotionally – understands their feelings and the impact on thinking and behaviour, calms down quickly, asks for help when in overwhelm and learns to de-catastrophise patterns of thinking and emoting.

Supports – their learning behaviours through planning and organising their time and resources, persists through tough and boring work requirements, becomes and stays motivated, identifies and avoids distractions.
