Parenting Tip - Use Stories to Teach Children Important Lessons in Life
As a parent who deeply loves and cares about your children, you want to do all that you can to greatly help teach and instruct them, and prepare them forever as an adult. You want them to have a well-rounded education, demonstrate good good sense, be honest and trustworthy, and be kind and respectful to others.

There are many different ways that it is possible to teach and instruct your kids. Just spending time with them and setting the proper example is probably one of the better ways, however, other ways are effective too. This article deals primarily with children's stories, and explains how they could be used as effective teaching tools.

Not only is it fun and entertaining, children's stories are excellent for teaching many of life's important lessons. For example, children can be taught honesty, persistence, kindness, obedience, courage, the value of hard work, and several other lessons through stories. The right types of stories that teach some of these lessons are: "The Boy and the Robbers", "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", "Try, Try, Again", "A GENUINE Story About a Girl", "Jonah and the Whale", "David and Goliath" , "THE TINY Red Hen", and "Read and You Will Know".

There are many other stories that teach valuable lessons to our children. Lessons like handling money wisely, honoring our parents, and treating others with kindness and respect can be taught through stories. Here, are the right stories that drive home these important lessons: "The Whistle", "Going to Sea", and "Stories about Jefferson".

So much of what we learn is through reading and listening, so it is vitally important your children master both of these skills. When you read stories to your kids or they hear stories by hearing audio CDs, they improve their attention span and listening skills. When kids master these skills early, they are more prone to become better learners. In addition they develop a greater fascination with both books and reading. By listening, while following along in a book or printed story, your children will quickly learn to recognize more words and steadily increase their vocabulary.

Children's stories can be great tools for stimulating your child's imagination. A lot of the classic children's stories or fairy tales are great for doing this, and there are many stories readily available from which to choose. Some good types of these kind of stories are: "Cinderella", "The Sleeping Beauty", and "The Emperor's New Clothes".

If you would like your children to gain an improved appreciation for history, then children's stories could be great learning aids for developing this interest. There are many good historical stories from which to choose, depending on the amount of history you are interested in. For example, "How George Washington Escaped a Trap", "The Midnight Ride", "The Young Scout", and "Washington's Last Battle" are just a few examples of some good stories if you would like your children for more information about the American Revolution.

Hopefully, these details has been helpful. Teaching children a lot of life's important lessons is frequently challenging, but could be both fun and rewarding. You will be thrilled to see how quickly your kids can grasp new concepts, as you teach and instruct them. Remember, children's stories are just one of many tools available for you. Good luck!
