Fairy tales and stories for children and their parents
The child cannot be told that he is bad. This forms complexes and gives a feeling of dislike. A child can act badly and this needs to be explained to him. And it is not always possible to do this directly, the child may "close" and not hear. One way to be heard is to tell a fairy tale or story. The child himself will draw a parallel. And he himself will understand that he is wrong. Especially if you later discuss this tale with him. Not to tell the child your opinion, but to discuss it, asking him questions and listening to his opinion.
Here are only examples of fairy tales. There are many more fairy tales. Some of them (small) are at this link. The rest will gradually spread on this site.

Fairy tale about the princess
Fairy tales invented and told as long as I can remember. I was the last child in the family and my niece and nephews were 5-10 years younger than me. There was no computer or mobile phone then (in those ancient times) and the children played on the street. And there weren't any toys either. During the day they played ball, rubber bands, and other outdoor games, in the evenings they played with toys, and often they were homemade toys. And, of course, they told tales and stories. What I read myself or read to you quickly ended and I had to invent it myself. This is the first fairy tale that I have written down. Wrote for my beloved little granddaughter. Well, what else can you call a fairy tale for the first granddaughter? Of course, only about the Princess. I think that thousands of grandmothers would call it that. Each age has its own tale. This fairy tale is for little 2-4 year old children. We wrote it in two languages. Because the children of their nephews already live in other countries and Russian has become their second language.The illustrations were made by a talented person Aleksey Sukharevsky. These are his first illustrations.And the translation was made by my friend Ira Zaretskaya.
The tale of a clever king and a wise boy
Many adults are far from always able to deal with their lives, but for some reason they always know exactly what is right and what is wrong for children. They know especially well HOW to live correctly for children, even those who have already matured. I would like parents to think about it while reading this tale ... The tale is written in Russian and English. The drawings were made by a wonderful illustrator Volodya Sokolov. Translated into English by Irina Zaretskaya.
Three important things
Every parent loves their child and everyone (or almost everyone) wants the best for their child. And he often gives him what he lacked in childhood himself, realizing through the child his childhood dreams and unfulfilled hopes. But, and the time is already different and the life is not their own, but their children. So what can be conveyed? What to teach? There is a lot to say here. I tried to highlight three things that seem very important to me. This tale is written in Russian and English. Translated by Irina Zaretskaya.
Magic words
The word can inspire, make you happy, or it can hurt. Everyone knows this, but nevertheless, we do not often do not follow our words, we speak in a fit of emotional outbursts, not sparing our interlocutors. I tried to convey through a fairy tale how life can change if, through words, we do not convey aggression, irritation and other not our best feelings. A fairy tale for children from 3 to 8 years old and adults from the moment you realized that you are an adult, up to 99 years and older.
The speed of life or how to look at life through the eyes of a child
The speed of life is different at every age. Everyone remembers this. But in the hustle and bustle of everyday life they forget. Especially when dealing with children. This is where conflicts arise.
With this little story I would like to remind adults that they too were once children and looked at life with completely different eyes.
