How to treat the influence of fables and fairy tales on children?

Fairy tales have a certain educational effect on children. My deepest experience is that fairy tales can help children distinguish right from wrong and know what is good and evil.

Most fairy tales are based on good and bad values. There is a wolf with a white rabbit and a cruel stepmother with Snow White. The contradiction between these roles will make children understand what kind of people are good and what kind of people are bad.

For example, in the story of Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf, Mr. Dong Guo saved the wolf, but after the wolf was saved, he ate Mr. Dong Guo because his stomach was disgusting. This prediction is simple, but for children, they know what gratitude is. When others help you, you should treat it with a grateful heart, and don't be a baiwenhang who repays evil with good. This has played a guiding role in the construction of children's three views, at least letting children know the truth of being grateful.

When children read the language Ugly Duckling, they understand that people should not look down on others. Maybe the ugly duckling you despise will grow into a white swan and a bloated big fat duck, which will also play a guiding role in the kindness and beauty of children.

Of course, everything has two sides, which gives me the biggest feeling that fairy tales often treat things as black and white, ignoring a gray area, but there are many subtle relationships in real society.

Sunlight and darkness coexist. Maybe things are not as kind as we look. In a word, society is complicated, but there are so many fairy tales. Children have to accept the reality after all. As for how to get out of the influence of fairy tales on their values, practical experience is needed.

To sum up, fables and fairy tales have a good guiding role in the cultivation of children's character and three views, but we should also see its opposite. Children can't live in a beautiful virtual world, utopia doesn't exist, and reality must always learn to adapt.
