My thesis for my essay is that fairy tales are good for children to learn. From List A “The Positive Impacts of Fairy Tales for Children” by Knox-Johnson, Leilani Visiko a quote from the article caught my eye. “Fairy tales not only aid in child development, but they also offer a rich source of material to draw from in a therapeutic manner. It caught my eye because it shows that fairy tales can help children process trauma, fear, and complicated emotions, so overcoming just entertainment or moral teachings. “Fairy tales help children move from that disempowered state to a condition that may not be emancipation but that marks the beginnings of some form of agency.” This is a quote from the article listed in List B ” Why Fairy Tales Matter: The Performative and the Transformative.” by Tatar, Maria. This quotation is significant since it emphasizes how fairy stories give kids a sense of control and possibilities, so empowering them. The stories help them toward times of choice, bravery, and development even if they begin in vulnerable or afraid roles. A crucial aspect of emotional growth is that change from powerlessness to agency helps kids believe they can overcome challenges and direct their paths.

One thought on “Discussion Board #11 Oscar Orellana”
From Tahj Young:
Yes I loved your theme of empowerment I think in today’s world having spaces to empower children is so important to the creation of their confidence. Stories like “the wolf and the seven young kids” provide the perfect example of how fairytales can teach children not only a strong sense of self but a sense of hope. I think it’s beautiful when children can hear a story and visualize themselves.
