One third of parents avoid reading children scary stories, study finds

Psychologists emphasize the importance of terrible children's literature. After a new study, one-third of parents avoid reading story of bad role.

According to a survey of 1,003 British guardians by Online Bookstore The Book People, 33% of people provide books for children, these books contain scared letters. When asked about the most terrible novels they found in children, one in five parents quoted a West demon from L 'Frank Baum's' Green Wonderful Witch' and Ian Fleming's Chitty-Chitty-Bang I did - Bang's child catcher is second. The third is a big bad wolf, his grandmother swallows the incarnation of Little Red Riding Hood, the fourth is a witch from Rodriguez Witch, and the fifth Kruladville from Dodi Smith is a Dalmatian dog

Psychologist Emma Kenny said: "Fear is a natural reaction." "When you are reading a horrible story for children, as they are reading themselves, children have some control - This story may lead to discussion, they can explore and explain their view of certain situations. "

Kenny said that being scared of books "helps shape flexibility". "The world can be a terrible place - children will fall into a situation where they will be told by the teacher or fail with friends, it is a good thing to know how to confront fear."

According to a survey of Book People, one out of three parents avoided using a book with a horrible personality, 78% said that a malignant child distinguishes between "good and evil" . 48% of their help to overcome fear

"Kids are usually wrapped in cotton," Kenny said. "Risks and fears are what we need as a child, in the long term it is known that those who take risks are better than those who do not take risks - they are safely managed Is it wonderful to be able to give you various emotions in a safe and controlled environment? "

A survey by 2,000 parents revealed that classical fairy tales are abandoned because they are too scary for children. Nearly a third of parents read the fairy tale book Rumplestilskin and acknowledged that the children were crying. Half of these parents said some of the scary parts of Red Hat scared children and had a nightmare. Many people may not believe the meaning of fairy tales for children. However, parents should be aware that popular fairy tales are complementary tools for emotional and psychological growth of children. One of the most popular Grimm fairy tales, Hansel and Gretel may seem a bit scary for a few parents. Why do you want to read the story that two children captured by a witch who eats a child are being driven into the forest? However, this story is not actually developed mainly on the evolution centered on starvation and eating cannibals.

Before the Grimm brothers wrote a story that wolves and grandmothers and witches tempt children with candy, their parents talked horribly to their descendants. A terrible story may have played a warning role in unifying young people years ago, but you may wonder: to read something your child scares them for Is there a good reason for that? Another thing to consider is that the horrible story is not just fear. Normally they also have courage, problem solving, and weak victory for the strong. Think about Harry Potter which overcomes Voldemort or Cinderella who found a way to escape her evil stepmother and stepmother. Farley said that these stories will give power to children by showing a positive end.
