 What Stories Will Inspire Your Children?

At Viby International School, we know that stories shape young hearts and minds. The right stories can motivate children to dream bigger, work harder, and believe that they too can achieve greatness — no matter where they start.

But as parents and educators, how do you choose the right stories to share with your child?

Here’s a simple secret: Choose stories about real-life heroes that your children can relate to. Pick moments from their lives that show your child what dedication, focus, and resilience really look like.

Let’s look at a few inspiring examples you can share at home.

At thirteen, Bill Gates discovered what he loved: writing software. He poured hours into it, building skills that would one day change the world through Microsoft.

Most kids know he’s one of the richest people alive — but they should also know about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which helps people all over the world access better healthcare and education.

Parent Tip: Use Bill Gates’ story to show your child that success isn’t just about wealth — it’s about focus, hard work, and sharing your blessings.

Wilma Rudolph: Turning Disabilities into Gold

Wilma Rudolph’s story is proof that nothing can stop a determined mind. Born prematurely in poverty, Wilma suffered pneumonia and scarlet fever as a baby, leaving her partially paralysed. By four, her left leg was motionless — yet she dreamed of becoming the world’s fastest woman runner.

With her mother’s encouragement, Wilma worked tirelessly. At just nine, she set her goal and stuck to it. In the 1960 Rome Olympics, Wilma made history — winning three gold medals in the 100 metres, 200 metres, and relay. She became the first American woman to win three golds in one Olympics!

Parent Tip: Share Wilma’s story when your child feels discouraged — it shows how setbacks can be stepping stones.
