Oftentimes, in order to understand a child and encourage his or her thinking in general or in learning a language or in learning ethical principles, one needs to capture the child's attention and keep that attention over time. Other times one needs to redirect a child's focus away from the reality they see day-to-day in harsh living environments. Well-selected stories based on religion, science, fantasy can provide a view of other worlds that can extend the child's mind to other worlds as a relief from the realities of a real-world harsh existence. Engendering a strong sense of potential with a huge dose of "optimism" is key to everyone's life.

I think we lost our fairy tales. In recent times, babies are now growing with mobile phones and tablets. They are not social and problematic. That's why we need a tale.
Thanks.
Folktales can be used to help children develop strong reading skills, study other cultures, model positive character traits, and discover a love of stories. ... While these classic stories are not only highly entertaining, they also play an important role in passing along core values or character traits.
