Does anyone still read fables and fairy tales to the children anymore?

Question

Or has all the magic went to the electronic age.

Answer 1

This is up to you,I read to both of mine when they was small,you maythink they aren't listening,but like my 2 said they do listen.Not all parents read to their kids and I feel my 2 was so thankful I did.

Answer 2

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

Answer 3

You bet!  As for electronics... unfortunately some people have allowed for it to take over.  I have found that not having a tv in the house, limiting the computer, and saying no to most electronic games allows for reading to become a favored source of entertainment.   We are reaping the benefits.

Answer 4

well, the magic hasn't really gone. i have a girl who'll turn 9 two days later, and i've read lots of fairy tails when she was little. i think all her frieds at school do know la fontine's tails :)

Answer 5

Sure!  Usborne Books has a nice collection of fables and fairy tales for kids of all ages.  http://www.ubah.com/g2687

Answer 6

I know many people around here where I live that do indeed read to their children. That always makes me pleased when I hear that as I read every single night to my kids when they were young.. Sometimes I have read to children during a story hour at  the local school because I love to read so much and see how the kids respond so positively. . I think children like it, especially when you make it fun.

Answer 7

Yes they do.  I still like to read them myself, it takes me back to an age of make believe.

Have a good day hun ;-)

Answer 8

Yes, of course.  I read fairy tales to my children all the time.  I even read them to myself.  I don't use them in school though.  I also don't use computers with my young children.

Answer 9

Good thought Doug.... nothing like reading a good story to the kids but now they can do it themselves on line ☺

Answer 10

i have a lil brother (4) n twin sisters(1). All 3 enjoy bein read to stil.

Answer 11

Absolutely! And we even make up fairy tales of our own! But NOT based on an anime character, purple dinosaur or cartoon! LOL!

Answer 12

In the early childhood services I've worked in, there have not been any books on fairytales, fables and even nursery rhymes. Centres tend to leave that stuff up to the parents because a lot of them are deemed politically incorrect.

eg. gender stereotypes, aggression.
