Some modern parents are moving away from the tradition of reading folk tales to their children, which is a depressing fact.
The fact is that the role of these stories is difficult to overestimate.
How Fairy Tales Influence a Child
Cultural code
Folk tales contain a real cultural code that constitutes our identity. That is why it is so important to maintain a connection with folk culture.
Fairy tales are an excellent link between generations, experts believe.
Brain activity
When reading, the child's brain begins to work actively, as it analyzes what it hears, imagines and tries to understand. And it is better to start "training" the brain as early as possible.
Thanks to this, children grow up to be very smart.
Vocabulary
Sometimes in fairy tales we learn words and set expressions that will be very useful to us later. This will help children enrich their vocabulary.
Moreover, it is noted that modern children have a rather limited and modest vocabulary.
Understanding the works as a whole
Fairy tales always have a clear structure, which helps the child grasp the composition. Over time, he will begin to recognize artistic techniques, epithets, metaphors.
This will make it easier for him to understand the works as a whole.
