What Should YOUR Children Read? - Gary L Alexander & Terry Warren - April 1971

Gary L Alexander & Terry Warren

Should parents supervise what their children read? Are nursery rhymes, fairy tales and comics the type of material your children should read? Proponents of fairy tales and nursery rhymes are legion. To ask whether fantasy literature including fairy tales, nursery rhymes, even comic books - is good for children is, in the eyes of many, comparable to attacking motherhood or abolishing apple pie. A whole body of Freudian-Jungian theory is built around the child's supposed need to escape into his own "individuation" through fantasy and magic. Books which laud fantasy have been around for decades. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
