This is in part because of #3, and in part because the scary stuff began with the words “Once upon a time…” and ended with, “And they all lived happily ever after.” That makes a huge difference to most children. ![]() ![]() I have had students who were traumatized by the local nightly news, but reveled in any fairy tale you could find.
