Fairy Tale Stories - Great Children's Books

Fairy tale stories are a great way to pass on valuable life lessons to your child. When we read beyond the princesses and the knights, the humanized animals and the fiery dragons, these stories helped teach many generations lessons about safety, kindness, forgiveness and more.

Fariy tales help in developing:

1. Their imagination,
2. Creative thinking and...
3. Teaches them life lessons.

Focus on the deeper meaning of the stories and actively engage your child in discussions by asking them questions such as:

- How did this story make you feel?
- What do you think Goldie Locks should have done?
- Can you try to come up with another ending to this fairy tale?

Allow the child to 'interrupt' you and evoke the discussion while you are reading. When my sons ask me a question I tend to reply with...

"What do you think?"

I believe this helps empower children and develop their personal 'voice'.
