Does Your Child Love Listening To Stories? Read This!

March 4, 2009

Stories are everyone’s favorite. Who does not like listening to stories? As we grow old, we enjoy stories of TV serials, movies or Novels. Undoubtedly even your children love listening fairy tales as they are their favorite stories.

Fairy tales takes them to a fantasy world where, through the fairy tale characters, they understand the world, people and relationships. Therefore it is very important that you carefully choose the stories that you want your children to grow up with.

Mind it that if you keep on exposing your little girl to stories in which the princess is always waiting for her prince charming, then your daughter will grow up with only goal in mind- finding romance and marriage.

Likewise if you expose your little boy to violent stories, then he will grow up thinking that the solution to all the problems is violence. Hence, it is certainly very important to choose good stories and while choosing, you should ensure that the central theme of the story is the victory of good over evil.

Many times children demand story at odd times and places, like while eating, bathing or traveling in train. On such occasions, a story book might not readily be available with you and as such you might not be able to fulfill your child’s demand. But you should keep in mind that a book is not always necessary to tell a story.

An ‘object’ and a ‘feeling’ are the only two things required to make up your own story. For e.g., if your child demands a story when you are giving it a bath, your hands would be soaked in soap suds and being able to read a book would be completely out of question. Doesn’t panic- just look around you and you’ll certainly find something lying around you that will give you an idea as to how to start a story. So just try it out and have fun with your child.
