The first ten years make up the most crucial period in
the development of the young child. Both positive as well as negative
experiences can often leave a lifelong impression upon them and those they may
interact with.
The stories fully acknowledge the conceptual and
reference world of the child, and are designed to assist him to
deal perceptively with the daily issues he may be confronted with. The
child is stimulated to think creatively, to learn skills needed to live
harmoniously and how to handle misfortune. As such the child is encouraged to
adopt an intelligent as well as a positive emotional approach to life.
The book is written in a style that implies that an
adult will read it to the child and foster communication between them. Each
chapter concludes with a few simple questions to further stimulate reasoning
about relevant issues. Children should be free to ask questions during the
reading so that they can expand the scope of their social intelligence and
share in the experiences of the characters. Likewise, the adult will observe
the level of insight gained and will assist the child in the development of
good values and life skills.
