The horror books It is something that almost nobody usually leaves within the reach of children and that of course nobody reads to the smallest of the house when they go to sleep. However, according to the psychologist Emma kenny Reading these types of books brings great benefits in the education of children.
He has reached this conclusion after conducting research on the importance of children's literature in the education of the youngest members of the household.
"Fear is a natural response and when you are reading a fear story to a child, he is able to raise a debate in which he can explore and explain the way he feels"
These statements have been made by the increasingly well-known psychologist in an interview with "The Guardian", where she has also stated that; "We usually wrap children in cotton wool, when risk and fear are something we need during childhood."
According to the specialist When children feel scared or scared when reading a book, they are learning complete situations, something that can also help them in the near future to interact with other people.
In my opinion, Kenny's theory does not convince me too much, no matter how much it is based on a hard study, but I do not take away part of the reason that facing fear can eliminate future fears or at least learn to face another shape them.
