Once upon a time, in a lovely little village, there was a little girl who loved listening to her grandmother tell preschool fairy tales. Every evening, she insisted on hearing all sorts of stories, from tales of toads suing heaven to the story of Tam and Cam. Fairy tales have become an indispensable spiritual food for the childhood of many generations. So, what role do fairy tales play in the development of preschoolers?
The Magical Role of Fairy Tales
Fairy tales are not just entertainment; they are also a “tonic” for children’s souls. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, principal of Phuong Nga Kindergarten, shared in the book “Nurturing Children’s Souls with Fairy Tales”: “Fairy tales help children develop language, thinking, imagination, and creativity.” By listening to stories, children learn how to express themselves, enrich their vocabulary, and gradually develop the ability to articulate their thoughts.
Moreover, fairy tales help children distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, shaping their character and values. Stories like “The Story of the Starfruit Tree” teach children about filial piety, while “Thach Sanh” advises them to live virtuously and bravely. Fairy tales sow good seeds in children’s hearts, helping them grow up with pure souls.
Choosing Suitable Fairy Tales for Preschoolers
“Look before you leap,” choosing fairy tales for children also requires careful consideration. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Van Hung, a child psychology expert, it is advisable to choose Vietnamese fairy tales for preschoolers with simple, easy-to-understand content and images close to life. Avoid stories with overly violent or terrifying content that can affect children’s fragile minds.
Some suggested fairy tales for preschoolers include: “The Three Little Pigs,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “The Magic Bamboo,” etc. In addition, parents can tell their children preschool stories of Tich Chu that are relatable, making it easier for children to absorb and remember. There’s a saying, “Bend the tree when it is young, teach the child when they are little.” Reading stories to children is not just entertainment but also a way to nurture their souls and cultivate dreams for future generations.
