4 quick reasons why kids need different fairy tails.
Children are going through a lot trying to get find out who they are and who they want to be. On top of this they have yet to learn for the most part about the real world. Sure kids are being told about it often they really dont understand the magnitude for some of the actions they can take. Here I am going to run down 3 reasons why Perraults stories in particular red riding hood needs to be re introduced to the younger generation.

More realistic
Realness is becoming scarce with the rise of social media and other platforms it has become even more apparent that some kids are having a hard time distinguishing reality from real life. Although this is troubling in itself this also has let some children think that these consequences are of rare occurrence.
Educates on history
Reading the the first printed version red riding hood got me to understanding things that I had haven't seen before that. Another positive note is that the story is something that can be easily discussed and broken down the the right verbal tools. Breaking down those story is a good metal learning objective as well as a important window for you to see what the outside world was like at the show.
It Teaches lessons
America has decided that kid movies are all supposed to be fluffy and good. While we aim to protect our children from things we think they are not ready to know we are at the same time as protecting stopping their growth. Kids are eating Tide Pods and coming up with deadly challenges seemingly every year out of pure boredom and stupidity. I wonder if a more realistic outlook could have curved that trend.
/Conclusion
In my conclusion I understand that there have not been enough real studies done on this subject to come up with stone cold evidence. I do think that we have a situation on our hands and that implementing a solution during a younger age could help solve some of these older problems. We know that kids are young and so they are going to make childish mistakes from time to time as they grow up. With that being said I believe it would benefit the kids in the future and present to understand not everything has a happy ending and you will have to pay real consequences for the wrong actions.
