What Stories Will Relieve The Child From The Complexes And Fears

Reading instead of a psychologist: what stories will relieve the child of the complexes and fears

Ach mom knows the best way to put a child to sleep, soothe, amuse or interest - to read him a story. At the same time, not all parents are aware of that fairy stories can serve as not only a sleeping pill and "antidepressant", but also a psychologist. With the proper tale will "cure" a child of shyness or, for example, to understand the reasons for his bad behavior.

Despite the fact that people invent fairy stories for thousands of years, skazkoterapiya as a separate area in psychology is a relatively new - at the end of the last century. Like many other know-how, the method originally used to work with "special" children (autistic, hyperactive, etc.). The results were stunning: psychologists using psychotherapy were able to achieve significant improvements in the sick children. If the method works for children with complex psychological problems, with the whims and fears of your crumbs can handle even more.

Fairytale - in fact, the manipulation of magical story that the child should not just listen to or read, and to alter, add to their own way, to role play to explain the reasons for the behavior of a character. Due to the fact that the baby will endow the experiences of fairy tale characters, the light will get out all his grievances and complexes, which until now were hiding in the secret corners of the soul. Realizing exactly what rankles, excites and frustrates the child, it will be much easier to find a common language with him, to help him solve the problem.


To apply psychotherapy in practice, you do not need a degree of professional psychologist. Just think back to your favorite fairy tale with a child, and then ask him to tell it again. Be careful not to interrupt, but do not forget to ask clarifying questions. In the course of your conversation may reveal a lot of interesting things. For example, it appears that the Gray Wolf from "Little Red Riding Hood" was angry because the girl and her grandmother did not want to be friends with him and he felt lonely. Most likely, your tomboy and often fights on the playground at all because of bad temper - just other kids for some reason do not call it into your game. A princess Nesmeyana crying from morning to night, because her mom and dad all the time fighting. In this case, a sad princess - your daughter, and her parents - you and your husband. Apparently, your relationship is concerned about a child is much stronger than you thought.

He felt the problem, proceed to deal with it. Try to find out the crumbs that might improve the situation and to please the princess or how to help the Grey Wolf. But in any case, do not push the child to answer that seems right to you.

Tinkering on your own fairy tale, kid chooses an option that is most appropriate to its internal state. And it will be an answer that will not only give you the key to solving the problem, but also allows the child to be free from internal stresses.

Be careful! If the child overrides a good end to a bad fairy, makes a good hero too cruel and vindictive, or writing a story focuses on aggression and violence scenes - should see a psychologist. In serious cases, psycho-correction, even fabulous, must deal with a professional.

Spell of fears
However, redoing the famous stories - not only welcome psychotherapy. If you have been aware of a problem your child, pick up, or even compose themselves magical story, reminiscent of the best of his situation. If a child is shy and is experiencing due to the lack of, let the hero will show your child how to make friends, and if the child is afraid of the dark, tell us about your character coped with this phobia. Come up with a magical spell that helped the hero to overcome fear. Armed with this wonderful plot, next time, when the lights go out, your baby will be more relaxed and confident in themselves and their abilities.

And do not interfere with the child to dream. Parents are often blamed their children for excessive writing. Some even categorically prohibit "this nonsense." Do not rush adjacent to the ranks of such serious dads and moms. Psychologists say that children's fantasy - a real "self-therapy." Coming up with stories, the child pronounces his concerns and trying to find the answers. After all the stories that compose your baby, do not only reflect his inner world, but also contribute to his personal development, learn to cope with life's challenges.

Do not forget that any fairy tale you read to your child, be positive and good finishes. Try to avoid, fantasy stories like "The Lord of the Rings" Tolkien. Despite the fact that good triumphs over evil, they are too many dark, negative characters - even the sunniest toddler may lose orientation, if it in abundance will fall endless battle eerie monsters.

Princess? The Princess!
If any of your female friends says that as a child she never changed her clothes princess or fairy - indeed, a friend disingenuous. However, like many reputable Pope condemning the offspring of "chingachgukskie" feathers in the head or "betmenskie 'wings. All children love to try on different roles and put on a fabulous costumes. In addition to the fun of this game, you can benefit greatly. If, for example, you're a mom shy, insecure girl - let it be a great queen. Bring beauty to the mirror and you will see how straighten her shoulders and change gait! A restless Skoda and brats will be helpful to feel like a knight, responsible for saving the world.

Find a kid with a big box and make of it a magic chest. It can be filled with the contents of my grandmother's wardrobe: colorful scarves, feathers and intricate berets. Invite your child to gradually get out of there, these "accessories" and try on. Ask your child to tell about the character, in which he is reincarnated, what he likes to make friends with anyone, if he was happy, and maybe in need have helped? - Your task is to gather as much information about the fictional hero, because he - a direct reflection of the personality of your child. Being in the image on the one hand, the kid can throw out the repressed emotions and desires, and on the other - to lose different behaviors that will help him in communicating with their peers.

By the way, dressing up and help you. Transformed into a witch, a queen or lady jungle, you can bring to life your rambunctious child - the child accepts the terms of the game and will be happy to perform the data you "important assignments."

Using his 'royal' power, it will be easier to persuade fidget toys or collect, for example, lay a bed.

Expert Opinion
By selecting a story to read at night, avoid the sad and gloomy themes - positive in the stories should always be greater than the negative. Light fairy tales - the best evening option. If you read some great work and fails partway to continue tomorrow, do it in a neutral or good note. If you leave a baby in a crib, closed the book on a negative thing (for example, Prince Ivan was killed, and the Gray Wolf has not brought the water of life), neisklyucheno that the child will be on their toes all night and cannot sleep.
