If hunter comes in story he feels scared. I think its natural and that they are growing to learn different emotions and how they affect ppl. I don't think that this is the age to introduce sad endings to them. I do believe in giving stories without giving the moral of the story and let him think it over and interpret the way he wantsSwatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263330596396584816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18604078.post-69763438290760707152009-11-05T17:47:30.220+05:302009-11-05T17:47:30.220+05:30Anonymous (Aryan's Mom I guess) : School says ...Anonymous (Aryan's Mom I guess) : School says no fairy tale? Am surprised! I think we shouldn't deny a fantastic world to our children...its beautiful!

Well, to make it happy I twist the story and say that " Papa came and fought and saved the kids this that", but I guess your point about Kids being exposed to sad endings sounds perfectly right...<br />Very well corelated thought yaar...<br /><br />But what is the age limit to introduce not happy endings? <br /><br />I need to research more I guess....<br /><br />BTw, how are you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18604078.post-50010687364713792572009-11-04T20:11:36.578+05:302009-11-04T20:11:36.578+05:30i dont know much.but am happy that the kids not cy...i dont know much.but am happy that the kids not cynical in this quite cynical world.being a cynic has become fashion.and munu vayasula pied piper??i remember learning it quite late..freeSoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05708544526844237025noreply@blogger.com
