Goldilocks and the three bears lesson was don’t break into people houses and touch they’re belongs without permission. And little red riding hood lesson was don’t talk to strangers. Every fairytale has a lesson that we don’t know about as a child but when it comes to parents, they should understand that it’s a great tool to use.

The cruelties and struggles and even deaths that children aren’t able to fully understand. By keeping that magic apart of the child’s life, they will be able to cope with the things in his or her life. A child’s need for magic is strong. And with magic a child becomes creative. They develop a part of themselves that they have never experienced before. The child has a world of their own and they discover new wonders in which they will take with them as they become
