Test results
Look at which options are most of your plus signs or checkmarks.
"BUT". You have everything in order: fairy tales separately, education separately. You are used to living this way and do not notice that it bothers you a lot. Moreover, in two things at once: to understand the world of your child and yourself / yourself to relax and unwind. Children are not serious people, so it is worth treating their upbringing as creativity. Try to break the habit of being serious and step into the fairy circle. After all, by acting and playing, children study the world, try on the “fabulousness” and reality, master its laws. The fairy tale will lead you along and tell you how to behave with them. Then education and upbringing in the eyes of the child will not look like just another notation, but a funny and useful game.
"B" You are perfectly familiar with the fairy-tale world - you know, respect and even use fairy tales. But it is somewhat pragmatic: while you see in children's fairy tales only a simple and good way to attract the child's attention, entertain him, set him on the right path, convey a set of necessary rules. This is also, in fact, correct, but too straightforward and didactic, because a fairy tale is also a world of feelings. Do just a little: believe (and not only once [1] with your mind) in the good power of fairy tales, and they will become your reliable allies in raising children.
"AT". Fairy tales are your element. You love a fairy tale, you have a good feel for its features and are perfectly able to use it in life. Or maybe you yourself believe in miracles at least a little. And in this sense, your child is lucky: the creativity has not died out in you, which means that you will support and develop it in your young heirs. And also - you can use fairy-tale images and influence children through a fairy tale. This helps you explain to your child many important things clearly, without hassle, prompt and come to the rescue. And, no less important, you know how to listen to children's stories, understand the subtext that a child usually without realizing it, invests in them, and pull out into the light of God those problems that do not give him rest. The only danger that lies in wait for you is to get so carried away by "fabulous methods" that you forget about all the others.
