In the thicket of the forest, in a clearing, the Helping Bunny lived with other animals. The neighbors called him that because he always helped everyone.

Only the Helping Bunny decided to stay up all night and continue the search. He walked through the forest with a flashlight, calling Mishutka. He hears someone crying under a bush. I looked in, and there was a tear-stained, chilled Mishutka sitting there. I saw the Helping Bunny and was very happy.

Little tales

How a fox got rid of nettles in the garden.

One day a fox went out into the garden and saw that a lot of nettles had grown there. I wanted to pull it out, but decided that it wasn’t even worth trying. I was about to go into the house, but here comes the wolf:

- Hello, godfather, what are you doing?

And the sly fox answers him:

- Oh, you see, godfather, how many beautiful things I have lost. Tomorrow I will clean and store it.

- What for? - asks the wolf.

“Well,” says the fox, “the one who smells nettles is not taken by a dog’s fang.” Look, godfather, don’t come close to my nettles.

The fox turned and went into the house to sleep. She wakes up in the morning and looks out the window, and her garden is empty, not a single nettle remains. The fox smiled and went to prepare breakfast.

A book that mom, dad, grandma or grandpa reads helps shape core values, develops imagination, makes the child calm down and get ready for bed.

How to properly organize such a ritual as putting a child to bed?
It is not recommended to eat before going to bed. The last meal should be two hours before meals.
You can drink a glass of warm milk.
Don't forget to remind your baby to go to the toilet and brush his teeth.

All needs have been met, procedures have been carried out, and now you can read a fairy tale for children with a clear conscience. The baby will not be distracted, nothing will bother him. You need to read a fairy tale before bed in a calm voice. Psychologists advise choosing not combat and adventure works, but calmer ones that would put you to sleep and lull you to sleep. To attract attention, you can sit next to the child and show him pictures from the book. Or sit at the feet, so that the baby can fantasize more and imagine the characters on his own.
Remember, the child's psyche is not able to concentrate for more than six minutes. Attention will wander if you take too long to read. The optimal duration of reading a fairy tale for children is 5-10 minutes.

It is important to read fairy tales every day. This is not just a habit, but a kind of tradition. It is she who helps the baby create support and know that his world is stable. At the same time in bad mental state It's better not to read a fairy tale. Ask them to replace you or explain to your child that you are not feeling well. Otherwise, the baby may become infected bad mood without realizing it myself.

It is important to choose the right fairy tale for your child. After all, it carries morality. If the fairy tale is evil and cruel, then the child may develop an incorrect vision of reality. For example, the fairy tale The Little Mermaid tells that real love cruel and generally leads to death. Cinderella teaches that you need to wait for the prince. Very susceptible children may receive incorrect attitudes into their subconscious, which will then have to be treated by a psychiatrist. We suggest you find a fairy tale right now and read it for your beloved baby.
