Therapeutic fairy tales: how to understand your child and help him. Just for your child: A Tale about Kittens

During childhood, a child listens to fairy tales with pleasure. I remember a huge stack of children’s books that lay on the shelf next to the sofa and every night I read them in turn to my son at night.

The books were thin. Usually one fairy tale - one book. I really liked this format. There were large, bright illustrations with clearly drawn characters, and while I was reading the text, my son was looking at the pictures. One day I noticed that a child took a book, opened it and, looking at the illustration, began to retell the text almost word for word.

I slipped him a book I had not yet read, and looking at the picture, he began to invent a fairy tale. I told it slowly, tried to modulate my voice, as I did when reading, changing the timbre.

Of course, there was nothing in common with what was written in the book. But I was wondering what he would come up with. Two characters were drawn: a fox and a hare. And I thought: “Why did he choose a hare as the main character, although the fox is drawn larger?” And listening further to the tale, I realized that he was not telling this tale about a hare, but about himself. He personifies himself with a hare. He presents the long-eared one as bold, brave and intelligent, who as a result deceives the fox and takes possession of her basket of pies. The written fairy tale was about something completely different: about a cunning little fox and a trusting little bunny.

The next day, I slipped my son two more unread books and asked me to “read” them. The son began to flip through the pages with importance and, looking at the illustrations, composed a plot as he went. Not everything always lined up logically, the story sometimes reached a dead end, but this did not upset the kid at all and, not knowing about any laws of writing, he boldly continued the story.

This went on for several days. First, my son “read” an unfamiliar fairy tale to me, and then I read to him a book that I had already read and re-read more than once. I noticed that all of his main characters are somewhat similar. First of all, character and actions. At first they appear as unfortunate, offended and oppressed by someone, but then, with the passage of time and certain circumstances, they are reborn into strong and courageous ones. Of course, all Russian children's literature played an important role in this. There were so many fairy tales read about Emel, Ivanushka the fools, Brave little tailors...

Once I asked him which of the characters he invented was his favorite, and he listed for me those who were at first offended and unhappy, and then became winners. This was not without reason.

Two weeks later, while waiting for my son to finish playing war games with the boys on the kindergarten playground, I got into a conversation with his teacher. She was glad that my son finally joined the team, adapted, stopped being embarrassed and staying away.

The son moved to another group, but the children from new group he knew well from common walks and, nevertheless, it took him a long time to become part of the team.

And in the evening, out of habit, settling down on the sofa to read together, for some reason I remembered those bunnies, squirrels, puppies who invariably became the main characters of his fairy tales, although according to the semantic component of the illustrations they could not possibly be leading the narrative.

Perhaps his adaptation to the new kindergarten group was partly helped by the fairy tales that he himself invented. He came up with a pattern that no matter how bad you were now, no matter how bad you were, this is temporary. There will be certain circumstances and your own efforts that will help change the situation in a positive direction.

Any fairy tale involves development and a path from bad to good. This is a classic of the genre. The son learned this well and perhaps he transferred it to real life Having realized that if it’s bad, it can’t last forever, it will end someday and the circumstances that arise need to be turned with “interest” for yourself.

In fairy tales, the son played out a difficult situation for himself several times: how to transform from a sad and unhappy character into a hero.

Fantasy and writing, it turns out, can influence real life.

Inventing a fairy tale is creative task, which develops speech, imagination, fantasy, and creative thinking in children. These tasks help the child create fairy world, where he is the main character, forming in the child such qualities as kindness, courage, boldness, patriotism.

By composing independently, the child develops these qualities. Our children really enjoy inventing things themselves. fairy tales, it brings them joy and pleasure. Fairy tales invented by children are very interesting and help to understand inner world your children, a lot of emotions, the invented characters seemed to come to us from another world, the world of childhood. The drawings for these essays look very funny. The page presents short tales that the schoolchildren came up with for the lesson literary reading in 3rd grade. If the children cannot write a fairy tale themselves, then invite them to come up with the beginning, end or continuation of the fairy tale on their own.

A fairy tale should have:

• introduction (starter)
• main action
• denouement + epilogue (preferably)
• a fairy tale should teach something good

The presence of these components will give your creative work correct finished look. Please note that in the examples presented below, these components are not always present, and this serves as a basis for lowering the ratings.

Fight against an alien

In a certain city, in a certain country, there lived a president and a first lady. They had three sons - triplets: Vasya, Vanya and Roma. They were smart, brave and courageous, only Vasya and Vanya were irresponsible. One day, the city was attacked by an alien. And not a single army could cope. This alien destroyed houses at night. The brothers came up with an invisible drone. Vasya and Vanya were supposed to be on duty, but fell asleep. But Roma couldn’t sleep. And when the alien appeared, he began to fight it. It turned out to be not so simple. The plane was shot down. Roma woke up the brothers, and they helped him control the smoking drone. And together they defeated the alien. (Kamenkov Makar)

How the ladybug got dots.

Once upon a time there lived an artist. And one day he came up with the idea of ​​drawing fairytale picture about the life of insects. He drew and drew, and suddenly he saw a ladybug. She didn't seem very beautiful to him. And he decided to change the color of the back, the ladybug looked strange. I changed the color of the head, it looked strange again. And when I painted spots on the back, it became beautiful. And he liked it so much that he drew 5-6 pieces at once. The artist’s painting was hung in the museum for everyone to admire. And ladybugs still have dots on my back. When other insects ask: "Why do you have ladybugs dots on their backs?" They answer: “It was the artist who painted us” (Surzhikova Maria)

Fear has big eyes

There lived a grandmother and granddaughter. Every day they went for water. The grandmother had large bottles, the granddaughter had smaller ones. One day our water carriers went to fetch water. They got some water and are walking home through the area. They walk and see an apple tree, and under the apple tree there is a cat. The wind blew and the apple fell on the cat’s forehead. The cat got scared and ran right under our water carriers’ feet. They got scared, threw the bottles and ran home. The grandmother fell on the bench, the granddaughter hid behind her grandmother. The cat ran scared and barely ran away. It’s true what they say: “Fear has big eyes – what they don’t have, they see.”

Snowflake

Once upon a time there lived a king, and he had a daughter. She was called Snowflake because she was made of snow and melted in the sun. But despite this, her heart was not very kind. The king did not have a wife and he said to the snowflake: “Now you will grow up and who will take care of me?” The snowflake saw the suffering of the king-father and offered to find him a wife. The king agreed. After some time, the king found himself a wife, her name was Rosella. She was angry and jealous of her stepdaughter. Snowflake was friends with all the animals, since people were allowed to see her, because the king was afraid that people might harm his beloved daughter.

Every day Snowflake grew and blossomed, and the stepmother figured out how to get rid of her. Rosella learned Snowflake’s secret and decided to destroy her at all costs. She called Snowflake to her and said: “My daughter, I am very sick and only the decoction that my sister cooks will help me, but she lives very far away.” Snowflake agreed to help her stepmother.

The girl set off in the evening, found where Rosella’s sister lived, took the broth from her and hurried back. But dawn began and she turned into a puddle. Where the Snowflake melted, a beautiful flower grew. Rosella told the king that she sent Snowflake away to look into the world, but she never returned. The king was upset and waited days and nights for his daughter.

A girl was walking in the forest where a fairy flower grew. She took the flower home, began to look after it and talk to it. One spring day, a flower blossomed and a girl grew out of it. This girl turned out to be Snowflake. She went with her savior to the palace of the unfortunate king and told everything to the priest. The king became angry with Rosella and kicked her out. And he recognized his daughter’s savior as his second daughter. And they have lived together very happily ever since. (Veronica)

A squirrel jumps towards me. The squirrel saw berries and said: “Give me a bunny of berries, I’ll give them to my squirrels.” The hare treated the squirrel and moved on. A bear is coming towards you. He gave the bear some mushrooms to taste and continued on his way.

A fox is coming. “Give me your harvest!” The hare grabbed a bag of mushrooms and a basket of berries and ran away from the fox. The fox was offended by the hare and decided to take revenge on him. She ran ahead of the hare to his hut and destroyed it.

The hare comes home, but there is no hut. Only the hare sits and cries bitter tears. Local animals learned about the hare's troubles and came to help him. new house line up. And the house turned out a hundred times better than before. And then they got bunnies. And they began to live their lives and receive forest friends as guests.

The brothers saw the palace all made of gold, went inside, and there were untold riches. The first brother took a sword made of gold. The second brother took an iron club. The third one took magic wand. The Serpent Gorynych appeared out of nowhere. One with a sword, the other with a club, but Zmey Gorynych doesn’t take anything.

In a certain kingdom, in a children's state, there lived a Fairy Tale. She loved children very much, had strong friendships with them, taught them and helped them. She told the children about the world around them, about strange countries and their inhabitants; - she shared deep knowledge about a person, his life and customs - and the children understood themselves and other people better, the children’s inner world became richer, they became smarter and more confident. Together with the heroes of the fairy tale, the children overcame obstacles and grew up strong, fair and resilient. And when the fairy tale was funny and weird, the children also had fun, and their souls were filled with peace, joy and goodness. Encounters with fairy tales also made the children’s childhood a little fairy-tale-like. Therefore, the children loved the Fairy Tale very much as the kindest and best friend. And parents loved fairy tales because it made it easier to raise and raise children.

But “different times” came. The children have grown up, they have become adults and smart people, and complex and “smart” mechanisms appeared in their lives - televisions, Cell phones, computers, slot machines...And when former children children of their own appeared, the adults decided that the Fairy Tale was outdated and not suitable for modern world...And the adults decided to find new friends for their children...

This is how kids got “cool” toys, fashionable games, exciting cartoons, and then the almighty computer. The fairy tale was not listed among friends, it was forgotten and I felt abandoned and useless to anyone. Children long hours played with ready-made toys, spent time in front of a screen or monitor, and adults went about their business.

So the days passed. Suddenly, parents began to notice that their children’s faces were becoming gray, their bodies were becoming haggard, and their eyes were dull. Over time, more and more often, interactions with children ended in outbursts of anger or crying, and some of the children even began to get sick. The parents were perplexed, because for happy childhood they do so much! The children continued to feel sad and wasted away and could not explain to the adults why. And kindergarten teachers and school teachers wondered why children had become so aggressive, why they couldn’t make friends... Doctors also shrugged...

One day, one boy played on the computer for a long, long time and defeated all the monsters and bandits. But he couldn’t understand why he felt so bad at heart after that. He hit his beloved dog, was rude to his dad and, while talking on the phone, quarreled with his friend... Neither he himself nor the adults could understand what was happening... He sat with his head on the table, and no one knew how to help him...

And then his mother quietly approached him, stroked his head and said: “I want to introduce you to the most best friend my childhood..."

- And who is it? - the boy asked incredulously

- This is my children's fairy tale.

“Read it,” the boy asked. Mom opened the book and quietly began “once upon a time...”, and then “in a certain kingdom, in the thirtieth state...”, and then “once upon a time there was an old man and an old woman...”.

And - lo and behold! Mom saw how with every page her boy seemed to be filled with joy, light, strength, goodness and health. She took a short break to call other parents and tell them that a cure for the child's soul had been found! And then she returned to her child, and together they continued the magical healing that evening and many, many more evenings in a row...

What is the power of a fairy tale?

A fairy tale develops a child’s cognitive world, broadens his horizons, helps improve speech and thinking, and national self-awareness.

Fairy tales educate careful attitude to the world of living beings, nature and environmentally educate the child.

Magical adventures in a fairy tale reduce a child’s anxiety and aggression, help to take a break from stress, and gain strength.

Through a fairy tale, a child gains knowledge about people's lives, their problems and ways to overcome them. A “bank” is laid in the child’s subconscious life situations and solutions”, which a person uses throughout his life.

True fairy tales fill a child’s world with life-affirming power: good defeats evil, and together with the heroes, the child gains confidence in their and his own strength.

While reading a fairy tale nervous system children are in a special state during which an unconscious elaboration of their own psychological problems, the child’s inner world is restored and harmonized.

How to communicate with a children's fairy tale?

• Read and Analyze fairy tales from an early age. Select fairy tales in accordance with the child’s age, help him understand their meaning and the actions of the characters.
• Reread your favorite fairy tales with your child many times.
• Tell folk “grandmother’s” tales.
• Write fairy tales together with your child, developing him Creative skills and speech.
• Draw illustrations for what you read.
• Make (sculpt, design, cut out of paper) heroes and characters, sew and knit dolls together.
• Feel the child’s problem (fear, anxiety, loneliness) and come up with a fairy tale where the hero finds ways to overcome this trouble.
• Act out fairy-tale stories, assigning your child the role of a character with similar problematic or missing character traits for the child: the fearful one - the role of a brave knight, and the greedy one - the generous wizard.

Let the mighty energy of a fairy tale accumulate in your child’s soul!

Have a fabulous growing up!

In all centuries, at all times, people have helped each other. Someone ended up in difficult situation, confused, doesn’t know what to do next - how good it would be if there are those who can help with advice, kind words or business. The story “Help a friend” is about those who helped in time.

Once upon a time there were two hedgehogs, two friends, one was called Squishy, ​​and the other was Smarty. The hedgehogs' friendship began a long time ago. Clever Man liked that Squishy always believed in his strength. And Squishy was glad that Clever Man knew how to share his friend’s joy, and did not laugh at his shortcomings, of which Squishy had plenty. He knew about them himself.

Yes, Squishy was afraid of unfamiliar sounds, was sometimes careless, and, most importantly, did not know how to stand up for himself. Clever Hedgehog tried to help his friend get rid of his shortcomings, but it was not so easy to do.

One day, Clever Hedgehog was walking along the path and whistling something cheerfully.

“I’ll go see Squishy,” he thought.

But Khlyupsik was not at home. The wise guy did not find a friend either in the house, or in the pantry, or in the yard.

-Where did Squishy go? - Smart the hedgehog said out loud.

“I saw,” said Beauty the magpie flying past, “how your friend was talking with some unfamiliar wolf, whose black tail ends in white fluff.” Your friend and the wolf - all hee-hee-hee yes ha-ha-ha. Apparently, after that your friend disappeared.

- Where is he, my trusting friend, my dear Squishy? - the hedgehog groaned. - What to do, where to find him?

“Well, okay,” said the magpie Beauty, “I’ll fly and see, maybe I’ll meet this wolf with white fluff somewhere.”

And she flew. At the foot of the Green Mountain, the magpie met the wolf it was looking for. Magpie Beauty quickly flew towards the hedgehog. Clever Hedgehog set off on the road, and the magpie showed him the way.

Having reached Green Mountain, the hedgehog Clever hid and began to watch the wolf. The wolf wandered back and forth and suddenly went somewhere.

“Probably headed to his house, which is called the “den,” the hedgehog thought.

And exactly. The wolf house turned out to be well camouflaged.

“It’s a good shelter,” thought Smart Hedgehog.

And suddenly he heard some strange sounds. Either someone snorted angrily, or groaned, or grinned. And suddenly it dawned on Smart Guy:

- This is Squishy! He's locked up somewhere and he's snorting.

“Are you going to tell me where your whole hedgehog family hid?” – Smart Guy suddenly heard.

“So that’s why the unfamiliar wolf didn’t eat Squishy,” thought Smart Guy. “He decided to find out from him where his family was hiding so that he could feast on everyone!”

Squishy did not answer the wolf’s menacing question.

“We urgently need to save Squishy,” decided the Smarty Hedgehog. - But how?

And then one thought came to Smart Man’s head. He quietly called out to the magpie Beauty and she flew up to him.

- Fly, call your sisters here. And then shout out loud:

— Hedgehogs are celebrating a holiday at Strawberry Meadow! And everything like that. The wolf will run there, and here we will unlock Squishy and run home.

So they did. Soon Khlyupsik was released. He realized that the salvation occurred thanks to the cunning plan of the hedgehog Clever and the help of the forty sisters. He, of course, thanked the magpie Beauty and her sisters. And the hedgehog said to Smarty:

- Thank you a true friend! Helped me out of trouble.

What about the wolf?

He came to Strawberry Glade, and there was no one there!..
