Bringing up a fairy tale
Somehow some of us have the word "education"is associated exclusively with moralizing: do not go there, do not do it, so you can not do it. That's just the effect of this kind of education is low: the child can turn on the regime "to spite my mother's ears frostbite." Why not try a more unobtrusive method of education - for example, fairy tale education?
The education of a fairy tale is one of the most ancientmethods of raising children. Through fairy tales our ancestors passed moral norms, traditions and customs, their life experience and attitude to the world to the younger generation. Heroes of fairy tales were an example for a child: on their experience, he learned how to or should not do. Such an example is more understandable to the child than the categorical parent "It is impossible!"
But in order to education fairy tale was effective, it is not enough just to tell the child the first fairy tale. The fairy tale needs to be selected depending on the age of the child, the characteristics of his character. For example, up to two years of education does not have a fairy talemeaning - at such a tender age a child is unlikely to be interested in a fairy tale. To the perception of the fairy tale child should be brought gradually, from infancy, from cradle and rhythmic rhyme rhymes.
The younger the child, the easier it should be a fairy tale. In the period from 2 to 3.5 years, well goclassical children's fairy tales, on which not one generation of children has grown up: "Teremok", "Repka". They are good in that the action in them is built on the principle of cumulation - repetition. "Babka for a baby, baby for a turnip ..." So the child is easier to navigate in the narrative. After a while you can go to longer and more informative tales: "Little Red Riding Hood", "Three Little Pigs".
By the way, at this age a child oftenmore accurate is the tales of animals. The world of adults seems too complex for a child, there are many rules and restrictions in it. And the stories of fairy tales about animals are more accessible to his understanding. At the age of 2-3 years, tales of mutual assistance, triumph of justice and truth over injustice and deceit.
In three years in the lexicon the child has the word "I" he begins to realize himself as a person. The child begins to identify with the mainhero of a fairy tale, so you need to choose those tales in which there is a hero with whom the child could associate himself. By the way, at the same age the process of self-identification begins, so the sex of the main character must coincide with the sex of the child - otherwise the child will lose interest in the fairy tale, and the education of the fairy tale will be ineffective.
Take into account that the main character of the fairy tale should be an example for imitation. For the upbringing of a child of 3-5 years is better to select tales, which clearly shows who is good and who is bad, where black, and where - white. The child still does not know how to distinguish nuances and semitones. It is necessary to avoid fairy tales in which the way of life of a robber is romanticized, etc. - a child can take out of them is not what you expect, and bringing up a fairy tale will be ineffective.
Senior preschoolers (5-6 years) can alreadyto offer fairy tales literary - books Astrid Lindgren, "Mary Poppins" Pamela Travers, stories and novels of Nikolai Nosov, children's detectives Enid Blyton ... Yes there are not enough good children's books! The child no longer simply identifies himself with the main characters, but can draw parallels between them and his behavior: "And I would have done it wrong in his place ...".
At this age, bringing up a fairy tale helpschild to understand that in the world there are absolutely bad and absolutely good people: positive heroes can make mistakes, and negative ones can do good deeds (even unconsciously). But do not hurry with this stage: until the child clearly learns from the simpler fairy tales, what is "good" and what is "bad", he will not be able to distinguish nuances.
To bring up a fairy tale has borne fruit,it is necessary not only to correctly choose a fairy tale, but also to teach it correctly: to discuss a little with the child a fairy tale so that he can understand its morality. Just do not impose on her child, but let him make his own conclusions. A good trick is to come up with a child with a fairy tale in which he will be the main character. And the fantasy will develop, and the educational effect is present.
By the way, education fairy tale - not the only scope of children's tales. Children's psychologists and psychotherapists actively use fairytale therapy for children to combat various psychological problems.
