Real-life step: after losing a game: stop — three slow breaths — say what I want
World
Hero CityA moment of calm brings your powers back on target
Hero City is a world for children aged 8–14 (gentler stories for 6–7). World law: “When you’re angry, your power flies everywhere — a moment of calm puts it back on target.” It suits these topics especially well: anger and calming down, telling a trusted adult, losing and mistakes.
Legend
The City Tower sends out the Help Signal. Every child in the city has one power — and one catch. The best heroes aren’t the strongest, but the ones who know when not to use their strength.
When you’re angry, your power flies everywhere — a moment of calm puts it back on target. The shield always protects. Even heroes call for backup.
