I read to my 6yo Grimm stories almost like originals ones. I think life is made of both good and bad things, hiding latter won't benefit child growth, you have to explain and give the kid the tools to manage both.
- manuelabeledo 4y ago"Almost" is possibly the key word here. How do you explain the horrific violence depicted in many of the Grimm's fairy tales to a kid? And what is the expected benefit of it?

- manuelabeledo 4y agoI don't doubt that. But I honestly don't know how would I tell my kid that the Sleeping Beauty was a minor raped by a stranger who tripled her age. Nor I think it could provide any "life lesson" to a six year old.
