This technique was proposed back in the 80s of the last century by the greatest Georgian teacher Shalva Amonashvili. He proceeded from the fact that the child always perceives fairy tales with pleasure. They work much better than the teachings and directions that the child “does not hear”.
And in a fairy tale there is no direct indication of how to behave, no instructions. She gently and unobtrusively shows the child the right decisions, pushes the child against them.
In each of these tales, there is a space in the place of the name of the protagonist; parents must insert the name of their child, its main features into it. In fabulous conditions, your child will overcome all obstacles precisely because of his kindness.
Let the toy mitten tell the tale to the child. You will have to put it on and read the story in a slightly altered voice. Perhaps in this situation, your baby will have more confidence in the toy tiger - after all, he never scolded or reproached the child for anything. And in the eyes of this tiger cub, your baby will always be a fine fellow who can be praised.
This book describes several basic qualities that make up kindness - the ability to be honest, open, noble. The child has to show compassion, learn to love. And many more different things, without which it is impossible to imagine a kind person.
How it works
The kid passes all fabulous events through himself. He associates himself with the main character, who is always positive in a fairy tale. Throughout life, your child will try to behave in the same way as he acted in a fairy tale. He will really want to correspond to himself fabulous. And he will begin to achieve this. Perhaps he will ask you to read one of these fairy tales to him again - it means that he needs to solve some problem for himself, and the fairy tale will help him with this.
This book is also useful because if a small child plays enough in a fictional world, then he will not need it in adolescence. And the already grown child adapts more easily to the rules of adult life.
