Raising Smarter Children

Remember the standard fairy tale stories like Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and Cinderella?

Once you share these with your kids, read more at http://www.RaisingSmarterChildren.com so you have a quick and easy way to teach them good values like how to understand others, or what it means to be misunderstood…here’s how:

Ask your child to relate a real life experience that is something like the possible misunderstanding in the fairy tale.  For example, maybe the people in the fairy tales really wanted to be friends, and not act badly, but didn’t know how.

You can use the fairy tales and real life to teach your child how misunderstandings and real intentions can happen and prepare them for the future.  Ask your child how to act out his or her real intentions, or how to ask a friend what their real intentions are when something went badly in the friendship.

Do you have some examples of how to use fairy tales to help build better values and decision making skills in your child?

Remember, every child is smart in their own way,

Warmly,
