A fairy tale is an integral part of childhood. Parents, with the help of a fairy tale, can help a child fall asleep, in addition, fairy tales can give the first ideas about the world around them. It is in childhood that a unique model of the universe is formed, which then works throughout life. Fairy tales can help to cope with some difficult situations in the life of the child or explain something incomprehensible. A kid can see the existence of such social laws as good and evil. Optimistic mood of the fairy tale is very important, so they should end well.
To all other things, fairy tales remarkably establish the connection between the child and his parents. What can be nicer and more pleasant for a child than spending an evening with his mother, who reads to him a fairy tale? And if the mother will also explain the actions of the heroes, share her opinion or learn the opinion of the child, then other than a pleasant pastime, this will also bring great benefits.
At its core, fairy tales are simple and understandable, especially folk, since they were formed over centuries, passed from mouth to mouth. At the heart of all fairy tales is the opposition of good and evil, stupidity and intelligence, beauty and ugliness, and therefore fairy tales are an ideal example for the first steps in our life. Fairy tales are full of allusions and repetitions, they are mythological - this is one of the reasons why children like fairy tales. For example, the fairy tale "Kotygoroshko" about a boy who defeated Snake Gorynych. But there are a lot of such fairy tales in the world literature. Russian, Ukrainian, French - they are all based on myths, which many, many years. As a child, a child reaches out to something native and understandable - this is their way of self-preservation, because they are so vulnerable at this age.
Fairy tales are very beautiful and there is magic in them. On the one hand, they are understandable and simple, and on the other hand they always have a miracle. As if there is no pain and evil, and if there is any, it is weak and easily defeated. Beginning to listen to fairy tales, children open the door to a magical land where magic lives, and the animals know how to speak. In such an easy to believe, you can easily implement the game, it's nice to live with.
In his head the child endows objects, toys, animals, plants with living human characters, because it is important for him that all his fears and joys be expressed and personified. Dangers and some problems the child usually associates with dragons or monsters, which brave fairy-tale heroes must necessarily win. Thus, the children's fairy tale, after reading by the child or his parents, has a beneficial psychological effect - relieves of negative emotions and various experiences.
Each reading is in fact a psychotherapy session for the baby, because the "adult" world is fraught with many dangers and the kid is often afraid of them. Despite the fact that the parents are taking care of the child, the kid still faces something new and incomprehensible every day, and this does not always result in a sense of joy and delight. Sometimes experienced fear and stress requires a way out, and a fairy tale, in this sense, plays one of the key roles. A fairy tale can teach a child to overcome difficulties, defeat enemies, not be afraid of dangers and hope for the best.
Although the text of the tale is simple, but it is always very informative, as far as images are concerned. A child can develop the ability to dream, and the imagination becomes richer. In connection with a small age, the child has some limitations that can prevent you from experiencing some emotions, however in a fairy-tale reality everything can be easily experienced, dreaming and fantasizing. Children love fairy tales, because a fairy tale for a child is a reality in which he does not feel himself as a defenseless little child, there he is a person growing and developing.
Fairy tales tell about the world of adults and it is done in a simple and accessible form, because a kid can not immediately understand all the cunning intrigues of the "big" world, and in fairy tales it is presented in a frame of magic. Even if in a fairy tale such a complicated question as murder, lie, money, betrayal rises, it is easier for kids to put up with some kind of injustice or meanness, because they know that as a result, good will still win.
