What about Fairies??? — 7 Comments

  1. Love this post! Fantasy and imagination are a critical part of early childhood development. Saying the words “let’s pretend” can inspire young minds to be creative and imaginative. But you are so right, Janice! There is a danger in getting caught up in the world of fantasy to a point where the lines get blurred. I think it is important for parents to let their children know when they are playing make-believe and when they are in the real world. I don’t think that would hinder their enjoyment of using their imaginations. So adding the words, “Let’s pretend there is a fairy . . ” might make all the difference.

  2. Thanks for this – I love fairies. I have so much fun with them in my writing. But I never made them more tangible than God. Not intentionally. However, I’ll make sure to be extra careful when using them in my children’s stories. I suppose you could rank them right up there with Santa and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy – all these fantasy characters “write” notes to children.
