Educate Your Children With Fiction And Fables.
Fiction is everywhere in today's world. You can see it in books, movies, and even simple conversations. It's important to make a distinction between positive fiction and negative fiction when dealing with our children. A fable is a story that contains a positive, educational, and motivated moral message. Oftentimes parents, grandparents, uncles, or other family members will tell fables to small children. These moral messages can be conveyed to the little ones before they go to bed. They can be told to a child before drifting into a sound sleep either orally or by reading a book.
While an adult may not take the content of a fable very seriously, a child is likely to give it his or her full attention. Sometimes whether or not the child takes the story seriously depends on the tone of voice that the storyteller uses. For example, to convey the full message of a sad story it must be told in a sad tone of voice. It is recommended that when we read fiction to our children we choose a book that will have a positive effect on the child's mental well being. It is very important that we first study the content of any book that we will be reading to a young one to ensure that it is acceptable and not overly complicated or inappropriate.
Reading fiction in such a way that will appeal to a child requires a set of special skills. We must learn to control the volume and intonation of our voice. The behavior and mannerisms of each character in a fiction story must be carefully considered so that the child is easily able to understand the message.
Make sure you pick a story that has positive motivations involved so that it will instill good moral values. It's important to clearly explain the difference between good behavior and bad behavior so that our children can learn which actions to imitate and which to avoid. Telling our children fables is a much more effective method of educating them than yelling or spanking.
Children who are accustomed to hearing fiction stories and fables will often have an increased vocabulary, a better understanding of history, a more gentle nature, and a tendency to avoid committing bad actions. By learning lessons through fiction we can also help our children understand his or her school studies better. It's even acceptable to alter the story that you are reading so long as it does not affect the ultimate moral.
The act of reading fables and fiction to your children can increase the bonds of affection by creating a question and answer environment in which the child may question the nature of the story and the parent can offer gentle guidance. When pleasant feelings and laughter arise, feelings of tension and negative emotion often dissipate.
In conclusion, we must set aside some of our time as parents to educate our children with fiction and fables. These stories do not necessarily have to be told at night but instead can be told anytime.
