Question

【题目】 How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness, patience, and self-discipline (自律)? Now more and more parents worry about the negative and violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, in the movies and on the Internet. So some parents are turning to fairy tales as a way to teach their young ones how to behave in society.

It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil(邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones in our lives.

What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales ? In The Princess and the Pea(《豌豆公主》) , a poorly dressed girl who says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In The Little Mermaid (《美人鱼》), the mermaid who lives under the sea longs to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In Pinocchio (《木偶奇遇记》), a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth.

Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.
