About this episode
In the last couple of episodes, we’ve discussed the importance of fairy tales, especially in the development of the hearts and minds of our children.
And you might be wondering . . . now that you know about the Gospel connections and symbolism of fairy tales, do you need to dissect every story and present all of the details to your kids?
Experts say no. But it can be incredibly edifying for you as an adult!
Today, we’ll discuss how to bring these “truer than true” stories into your kids’ lives and how deepening our own understanding of their symbolism and meaning enriches our reading lives too.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why your children don’t need you to point out the deeper meanings and connections in fairy tales
- How fairy tales provide us an opportunity to shape our child’s loves
- Why simply reading fairy tales aloud to your kids is enough
