There’s something about a video camera in a kid’s face that turns a zero response into a full-blown Hollywood Hero! So when I asked my daughter to crash into the lake, she looked at me like I was crazy. Then she saw the GoPro Hero camera in my hand.

“I’ll put the camera on your handle bars,” I said.

I may not be a professional skier, skydiver, or daredevil. The GoPro is a natural fit for those folk. What I am is a mom who will always treasure the unique perspective of my kids doing dares, making even the least of these into a full-blown hero.

Now, if I could only mount the camera on their toothbrush and dare them to brush their teeth really really well . . .
