Description
Summary:Children and adults can learn together in family. Their living together is a valuable experience. Family life can be made agreeable and instructive not only as a result of extensive knowledge, displaying mostly a rational dimension, but also due to emotional inteligence, attitudes and values. Fairy tales can be an incentive for personal development of both children and adults. To adults they offer an opportunity to get to know themselves better, to understand better their thoughts, values, environment. On the other hand, they help them formulate messages they would like to pass on their children. Fairy tales are one of the possible contents for the time family members spend togehter. Moreover, they are a source of entertainment, laughing and they create an excellent atmosphere for good family relationships. V družini se otroci in odrasli medsebojno učijo. Njihova skupna doživetja so dragocene izkušnje. Prijetnost in kakovost družinskega življenja ne nastane le na osnovi ekstenzivnega znanja, ki vključuje predvsem racionalno komponento, ampak sloni na čustveni inteligenci, stališčih in vrednotah. Pri razvijanju teh ima pravljična zgodba svoje mesto za odrasle in otroke. Odrasli prek zgodb po eni strani spoznavajo sami sebe, svoja razmišljanja, vrednote, dojemanje sveta, po drugi strani načrtujejo sporočila, ki jih želijo predati svojim otrokom. Zgodbe so ena od možnih vsebin skupaj preživetega časa, so vir zabave in smeha, ki je odlično ozračje za ustvarjanje dobrih družinskih odnosov.
