(1) A story is a story.
Many people are used to "sitting in the right place" in literature reading, and this tendency is more obvious when reading stories to children. For example, I often listen to adults admonishing children and asking them how they look like someone in the story. This is a way to interpret the story, but as a literary reading, it is not necessarily good, or even a little bad. Almost everyone knows the story of Cinderella, but there should be very few women who turn themselves into "Cinderella waiting for the prince to save". Today, although we may not agree with the protagonist's character and life orientation, Cinderella's story is still beautiful. Because "a story is a story", a master reader knows how to "jump out" from the story and how to guide children to jump out.
Learn to keep your distance, so that you can appreciate the story better. There are goodness and beauty in the story, and there are evil and ugliness. Are precious experiences in life. If you don't know ugliness, you won't know goodness. From the perspective of literary appreciation, the more vivid the ugliness and evil (if inevitable) in the story, the more perfect the story will be. In fairy tales, children will eventually land safely.
Under the premise of fully considering children's intelligence and emotional acceptance, I don't think it is necessary to deliberately avoid the dark side of fairy tales. At the same time, there is no need to turn stories into truth, and there is no need to use stories to reason. A story is a story. A truly excellent story has strong moral power.
(B) the importance of language
Fairy tales are literary, and literature is expressed through language. When we read fairy tales to children, we are also helping them enjoy and learn literary language. A truly excellent fairy tale master is often a language master. The brothers Grimm who collect and sort out Grimm's fairy tales are linguists themselves. Chinese and foreign writers who have created classic fairy tales for children, such as Andersen, Dickens, Carol, Wilde, Graham, Porter, Lin Gelun, White, Dr. Seuss, Ender, Jansson, Dahl, Ba Jin, Bing Xin, Zhang Tianyi, Ye Shengtao, Chen Bochui, Sun Youjun, etc. I have a deep knowledge of language and understand children's psychology. I have always stubbornly advised adults to choose the original (including the good translation of the original) as much as possible when reading fairy tales to their children, and to use less rewritten and abbreviated versions.
(C) the importance of pictures
In children's reading, in addition to intuitively cultivating children's thinking ability in images, the biggest role of pictures is to be pleasant, to make children easy to accept, and to gain the influence of literature and art unconsciously. Read fairy tales to children, and choose books with good illustrations as much as possible, preferably real picture books. A real picture book is not one with explanatory illustrations. Pictures in picture books can also tell stories. The narration of words and pictures has its own merits, which are irreplaceable and set each other off.
(D) the importance of merit
Reading to children, including fairy tales, aims to help children develop the habit of reading and keep their enthusiasm for reading. Generally speaking, children should be given enough freedom of choice in reading. However, childhood is very short, and children are not natural reading experts, so adults should try their best to choose excellent works for their children and gradually cultivate their ability to choose excellent works.
Due to the shortcomings of childhood, many adults lack the experience of reading fairy tales. Apart from Grimm's fairy tales and Andersen's fairy tales, they know almost nothing about the excellent works in the world of children's literature at home and abroad. In fact, this is a very vast and beautiful world. There are countless fairy tales at home and abroad, and excellent fairy tales in the form of picture books have also formed a very grand trend in today's world. Children nowadays are really happy! As long as we adults can study calmly and humbly, we can find countless treasures from this beautiful world.
