Fairy Tales to Help Children Grow

About the Book

Imagine if you could educate your young child to be safe. Imagine if you could teach your youngster to feel good about who they are and cultivate self-esteem. What if you could coach your kids how to solve many of their own problems? In Fairy Tales to Help Children Grow, author Stephen Abramowitz uses puppet shows, fairy tales, and a coloring book to help your kids as they mature—learn to problem solve, be safe, and build self-esteem. Each lesson begins with a puppet show that introduces a problem a child is likely to encounter while interacting with others at school or around the home. A fairy tale illustrates the problem and offers a solution a youngster can identify with. After an adult (a teacher or parent) reinforces the objective, the child is encouraged to color a picture of the major character discussed in the fairy tale, helping them understand and grow.
