Not all parents read classic fairy tales to their children for a number of reasons.

Some people think that this is a waste of time, so you can turn on an audio version of the work for your child or even choose a cartoon.

Others believe that fairy tales may have become outdated, and that modern children need new heroes and adventures. But these are incorrect positions.

Why is it important for children to read fairy tales?

First of all, experts note that this is the simplest and most accessible way to strengthen the bond with the baby. Time spent with the child is truly priceless. You are physically close, the child hears your voice and intonation. This is extremely important for the child's nervous system.

Children feel parental love, which is also extremely important.

Also, don't forget that classic fairy tales have deep meaning. Children begin to think figuratively. During their school years, it will be much easier for them to analyze works of art.

There is another reason why fairy tales have not lost their relevance. It is that they illustrate correct values. Thanks to this, the child develops a correct understanding of what is bad and what is good.
