This reading yet again

This reading yet again brought me to my babysitting experiences. I found vaidation in the importance of fairy tales through the lens of dealing with a child who has become a victim of some of the perils of modern parenting. He is so poorly behaved that his parents asked me for advice, and at the time I mentioned something about "indirectly directing" him so as to not scare him with our adult thinking. And now I can recognize that all he needs is a good storytelling to help him straighten out some of his emotions within the safe and secure environment of his imagination.
