The fairy tale “Teremok” has many interpretations among many peoples of the world. For the first time, three versions of a Russian fairy tale were recorded and published in the collection of Russian fairy tales by A.N. Afanasyev in 1855–1873.
Many storytellers and folklorists have diluted the invariant plot with their own details. Thus, the versions of A.N. are known. Tolstoy, M. Bulatov, V. Suteev, V. Bianchi. Particularly noteworthy is the version of M. Bulatov, who changed the ending of the fairy tale by adding the restoration of the mansion to the plot.
What is important to highlight in the plot of the tower?
The fairy tale “Teremok” is quite simple in terms of plot. , recorded by A.N. Afanasyev, differ in small details. We have summarized the main points of the fairy tales in a table:
| A fairy tale in the collection of A.N. Afanasyeva | Fairy tale number 82 | Fairy tale number 83 | Fairy tale number 84 |
| View of the tower | “A mansion was built by a fly” | Jug | Horse head |
| Who lived in the tower | burn fly creeping louse spinning flea long-legged mosquito little mouse rough lizard Lisa Patrikeevna snatch from under a bush wolf gray tail |
buzz fly squeak mosquito mouse whining from around the corner frog on the water balagta hare on the field fox on the field beauty dog gam-gum wolf from behind the bushes |
little mouse frog the hare on the mountain is dodging the fox is jumping everywhere wolf grabs from behind the bushes |
| Who destroyed the tower | thick-legged bear | forest oppression bear | the bear is crushing all of you |
| How the tower was destroyed | pawed down the tower and broke it | He sat on a jug and crushed everyone | sat on his head and crushed everyone |
As can be seen from the table, differences in fairy tales do not affect the plot in any way. It is important to note that the heroes of the fairy tale are various animals who, if not enemies with each other in the real world, are at least not friends.
The fairy tale “Teremok” is quite simple in terms of plot. , recorded by A.N. Afanasyev, differ in small details. The differences in the tales do not affect the plot in any way. It is important to note that the heroes of the fairy tale are various animals who, if not enemies with each other in the real world, are at least not friends. You can tell by their size that they appear. But the tower could accommodate everyone except the bear.
The key to admission to the tower is the consent of those already living in it. Note that none of the animals objects to the appearance of a new tenant. Here lies an important attitude towards your neighbor: it doesn’t matter whether he is your friend or your enemy, it is no coincidence that at a certain moment in your life it was he who appeared in front of you: perceive him as a reward - if this good man, take it as a test - if this is a bad person.
What is the tower an image of?
The object of the mansion itself is not revealed in the fairy tale: whether it is a jug or a horse’s head, there is no further description of the mansion as a dwelling as it is unnecessary, that’s not the point.
In the initial understanding, the tower in a fairy tale is an image of a house that shelters everyone who comes. As a rule, a person associates a house with peace and calmness. Exactly world is the hidden maxim of the mansion, under whose roof so many people gather different animals live in it peacefully. How can one not remember the phrase of St. Seraphim of Sarov:
“Obtain a peaceful spirit and thousands around you will be saved.”
Look, the fairy tale indirectly conveys the idea of the importance of the inner world - this is achieved by the fact that the animals friendly welcome every animal that comes into the house, in other words, they are internally reconciled. And through the inner world comes the outer world, because the animals lived in harmony before the arrival of the bear. In other words, we can conclude that peace (as a spiritual concept) is also a certain connotation tower.
Another important detail is that the fairy tale does not indicate any additional external attributes of the life of animals in the tower, but we know that if something is silent in the fairy tale, then it matters. In this case, the silence highlights the friendly attitude of those living in the tower towards newcomers. In fact, this is the only thing that is shown in the fairy tale, repeating itself every time with the next animal.
Terem-teremok! Who lives in the mansion?
I, little mouse; and who are you?
And I'm a frog.
- Come live with me.
A frog came in and they began to live together.
That is why the spatial significance of the tower is not indicated in the fairy tale, or rather, it is indicated as obviously small, since it is very important to show the internal attitude of the inhabitant of the tower to the newcomer. In other words, the message is conveyed - don’t think about how much space you have in your home, whether it’s a lot or a little - this is not what is required of you. But it turned out that all the animals fit into the little house, although if you imagine that a wolf, a fox and a dog fit into a jug, then some kind of logical absurdity arises. This is the simple but most important idea of the fairy tale! Be ready to help everyone who comes and asks. Don't rely only on your own strength and thoughts! God will arrange everything! It’s the same in life: some things seem unthinkable, but you just have to rely on God, and the situation will resolve itself.
Why didn't the bear get in?
The tale ends with the appearance of a bear that destroyed the tower. Of course, the bear is presented in the role of a destroyer for a reason. The bear in Rus' was revered as the most powerful animal, the owner of the forest. Nicknames that are used in fairy tales emphasize his strength and superiority over other animals: “forest oppression”, “he crushes you all”, “thick-legged”. The people knew very well what position the bear occupied in the forest, naturally this is not the idea of a clumsy, club-footed good bear that has developed in Soviet period(more on this below) in the contaminations of fairy tales. The bear is the most dangerous predator of the forest, in other words, it is the enemy of all animals, or more precisely, oppressor, because No one can resist him, except perhaps another bear.
If we transfer the image of a bear to a person, then what can we say about the feelings of a person who is such a “bear” in relation to other people? Such a person may develop evil feelings: envy, hatred, despair, intransigence, enmity. In other words, the image of a bear personifies the vices of human hostility towards society.
The bear can also be compared to an unrepentant sinner, who, as we know, will not go to Heaven. To some extent, an allusion to Paradise can be called a mansion into which a bear cannot get.
In the fairy tale, a bear comes to a tower and does not yet know who lives in it, i.e. evil in a bear cannot manifest itself in any way. Next, the bear asks who lives in the little house, thereby getting an idea about those living in it (remember that each animal had its own nickname). It was after he recognized all his “friends” that the bear destroys the mansion, because he sees his enemies in its inhabitants and is not ready to reconcile with them. Thus, the collapse of the tower is the expression of the bear’s despair in its anger. Hence the bear’s phrase at the end:
I'm a bigot, I'm a pushover for everyone! - said the bear, put his paw down the tower and broke it. (tale 82)
And I am the oppression of the forest!
He sat on the jug and crushed everyone. (tale 83)
And I'm crushing all of you! - sat on his head and crushed everyone. (tale 84)
Thus, the narrator seems to be hinting: do not be a bear, for you will not be saved, “acquire a peaceful spirit,” like other animals.
The original invariants of the tales about “Teremka”, recorded by Afansiev, although they have differences in form, do not change their meaning in content. The same cannot be said about later variations of the tale, mostly Soviet.
Thus, in Soviet versions, the instructive tale about “Teremka” turned into a tale about friendship and mutual assistance, thereby deeply reworking the meaning of the tale.
B M. Bulatov (1913-1963) modified (rather reduced) the original text the most. First of all, the image of the bear changed, he became a kind bear - a clubfooted one. At the same time, the bear does not oppose the animals, and also tries to get into the tower, but due to its size, it cannot. And he crushed it by accident, trying to climb onto the roof... All these innovations destroy the previous model of the fairy tale, the apotheosis of which is the ending of the fairy tale:
The tower crackled, fell on its side and completely fell apart.
We barely managed to jump out of it: a little mouse, a frog, a little bunny, a little fox, a little sister, a top and a gray barrel - all safe and sound.
They began to carry logs, saw boards, and build a new tower. They built it better than before!
With this ending the author creates a new moral meaning fairy tales and does not really hide it, acting, apparently, in the spirit of that time (according to the demands of that time). Now the tale ends on a positive note, instead of the bear's despair, we see how all the animals, including the bear, began to build a new house. The message here is that you need to see everything through to the end, don’t despair if something doesn’t work out, you need to be enthusiastic about your work, and treat the other person with understanding. Of course, these are good values, but the subtext of the fairy tale has become somewhat simplified.
The beginning of a fairy tale, a saying, an epic chorus, a prayerful introduction, an ending - these are the parts included in the structure of a folklore work. They must be distinguished from each other. The complex compositional structure of folk tales is not accidental. Each of the parts they contain plays a specific role.
What is a saying
Most fairy tales, especially fairy tales, begin with a saying. Thanks to its existence, the listener is gradually immersed in a special world and thereby prepares to perceive everything
When reading or listening to a saying, both a child and an adult create in their imagination the image of the cat Bayun, they see an island in the middle of the ocean, on it rises a mighty oak tree with golden chains and a mysterious chest on mighty branches, and in the distance a city from an unknown kingdom-state is visible.
The peculiarity that distinguishes a saying is that the beginning of a fairy tale, despite its small size (sometimes just a few words), is able to immediately immerse the reader in the world of magic and enchantment. And this is very important, because a person is determined not only to enjoy what he reads, but also to comprehend the deep folk wisdom that lies in the content of the fairy tale. And without a special attitude, it can be very difficult to achieve this.
Very often a saying has a humorous character with elements of confusion, gibberish, confusion, and puns. Thanks to this technique, it is possible to avoid excessive edification, but at the same time maintain the educational role of the work.
Functions of the initiator
To fully understand a fairy tale, you need to understand its purpose. It consists of performing several tasks at once:
- introduce the reader to the main works;
- talk about the time the described action was performed;
- give an idea of the place where events take place.
Young readers should understand that the beginning of a fairy tale is very important. Already at the very beginning of the work, you can get a lot of information, which in the future will help you fully understand the image of the characters, their characters and actions.
The beginning of a fairy tale will certainly indicate that the language of the work that you are about to get acquainted with is completely different from everyday speech. An example of this can be the following expressions: “in a certain kingdom, in a certain state”, “golden domes”, “there is a tree”, “a fairy tale is told”, “sea-okiyan” and many other “fairytale” words.
The beginning of fairy tales, their diversity
The beginnings and endings of fairy tales have a huge variety; they are distinguished by structure, language, and semantic content. Only about 36% of folklore works have a traditional beginning. It is known to every person brought up on traditions. From early childhood, when a child is told a fairy tale, he hears the following words: “Once upon a time...” In total, at least nine types of openings are used when telling fairy tales.
Ending
“This is the end of the fairy tale, and whoever listened, well done!” - a traditional form of ending to many folk tales. In addition to the above example, there are at least five other options with which the storyteller can finish the story he tells. Knowing what the beginning is in a fairy tale and what it is used for, it is not difficult to guess for what purpose the ending is used. Fabulous actions must be brought to their logical conclusion. A well-composed ending to the work helps to achieve this. For example, a storyteller can end the story like this: “They live and live and make good things!”, “This often happens!”, “They live and chew bread!” Sometimes the storyteller may end the tale completely unexpectedly, but he must remember that the ending sums up everything that has been said.
Other features of the structure of a folklore work
Fairy tales, their main part, and the ending may contain repetitions. Each new repetition is somewhat different from the previous one, and thanks to this, the reader can guess how the entire story will end.
Into the structure of folk tales naturally poetic parts fit in, which gives the work musicality and tunes the reader to a special poetic wave.
The poems used by the storyteller have their own characteristics. Fairy-tale narratives written entirely in such verse are of great interest to readers. Writers call it fantastic.
In the process of presenting the content of a fairy tale, the narrator sometimes has to not only speak, but even sing, since the heroes often use just that among themselves. Suffice it to recall the fairy tales “Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka”, “Cat, Rooster and Fox”, “Wolf and Seven Little Goats” and others.
Onomatopoeia, a lively dialogue between epithets, comparisons, and hyperboles make works of folk art bright and inimitable. It’s not for nothing that everyone, young and old, loves Russian fairy tales: folklore contains not only wisdom, but also the true beauty of the Russian word.
It separates two worlds - the world of fiction and the world of nature, and young children have great confusion with this. We must definitely set boundaries: it’s one thing to take a child into a fairy-tale world and there (on a virtual level) go through trials, meet Baba Yaga, turn into a little goat, and fight off Koshchei the Immortal.
And it’s completely, well, completely different - to always be in tension, because everything is mixed up, because you don’t know where reality begins, where fairy tales end, and who is peeking around the corner, Baba Yaga or Aunt Marusya, and whether it’s under yours? bed is an enchanted forest.
Only by the age of seven will a child set guidelines and separate this: the world of life and the world of magic. What happens in a fairy tale happens in another world, and it exists on the basis of other laws. The child must know this, subconsciously know. And the opening, recalling this “otherness,” produces precisely this demarcation.
In many respects, the last phrases of the fairy tale also serve for the same purpose - to indicate the boundaries of where and from where to return. “And they began to live well - to make good things”, “And they lived happily ever after...”, “I was there, honey - I drank beer, it flowed down my mustache, but it didn’t get into my mouth.” The ending sounded - and the child woke up, stepped out of the fairy tale, again became Sasha, Verochka, Kolya - returned to the real world.
Children can imagine everything as vividly as you can - perceive it on the screen of a large cinema with a surround sound system. Imagine that the thriller is not over yet, they are coming last shots, and your boss calls you on your mobile phone with a complaint. Scary? In the same way, fairy tales without beginning and end explode the sense of reality in our children.
By the way, this explains the ending of fairy tales that has surprised me for so many years: “here is the end of the fairy tale, and well done to those who listened.” No, I thought, whoever spoke was a great guy, and whoever listened was relaxed, so why praise him? It turned out that it is the child who needs to be praised, because he lives the life of a fairy-tale hero - he wandered, got into troubles and got out with them. Of course, from the same fellow as Ivan Tsarevich or Vasilisa the Wise.
So, you have chosen your hero, you have opened fairy-tale doors... Well, what next? And then the action begins, a fairy-tale plot.
Basically, plot outline of all fairy tales is very simple:
A hero, an ordinary person, receives something magical, becomes acquainted with something magical
Sent somewhere (by himself or on someone’s instructions)
Meets challenges (gets into trouble)
Wins (and gets his prize)
He returns (already different, changed, and it often happens that he changes beyond recognition).
There are a great many ways and techniques of where to take the hero and how to tell the story. We have already talked about some of the most childish ones. Now we will tell you further, and you try it. One, two, three...
After trying and experimenting, you will get used to the “fairy tale business” and choose the most suitable ones for yourself. And then, having become more experienced, you will be able to vary them. After all, the course of a fairy tale plot and its twists depend on when and why you start this business - inventing a fairy tale.
And then you will teach your child too. However, most likely, he will learn himself - along the way.
To make it easier for you to understand, we have grouped all these methods and divided them into topics. But this, of course, is a purely conditional division - for the convenience of using the “cheat sheet”.
Mom tells a fairy tale and absent-mindedly says: “A bun is rolling, and a wolf meets it. Kolobok says: “Wolf-wolf, I will eat you!” The son shouts indignantly: “Mom, why are you confused, wolves don’t eat pies!”
Maybe they don’t eat, but only such mix-ups make excellent fairy tales.
First reception Confusion
Chefs often readily use these techniques. And also science fiction writers and storytellers, screenwriters and directors. So why don't we take advantage of it? The recipe is very simple: take different ingredients, put them in one pile and mix well.
Take - fold - mix, that's all.
And from such confusion, something new and interesting always comes out.
Moreover, it can be confused in different ways
a) confuse the hero and the fairy tale
b) mix up two different fairy tales
c) mix everything up
And then get out of this mess.
This is a very convenient way when you urgently need to occupy your child with something, but nothing, well, nothing comes to mind.
This is a very convenient way when you need to reconfigure yourself. That is, throw all everyday thoughts out of your head (or at least push them into the background) and - in general, at least temporarily detach yourself from the bustle of everyday life.
This is a very convenient way when you need to stir up your sleepy imagination.
This is a very convenient method, especially for beginners.
Yes, you will start with an ordinary fairy tale. But as you slowly lead the plot, slowly getting drawn into it, your fairy tale, you suddenly won’t even notice how the plot begins to change, the characters begin to behave in ways they are not supposed to...
...And something of your own will respond inside you. Yes, that's what happens. Because in reality they don’t listen to fairy tales and don’t tell them – they live in a fairy tale.
And sometimes a completely wonderful miracle happens: a fairy tale will suddenly sound like a tuning fork, and it will pull out something old and painful from you, and the scab will fall off, and the old pain will go away, and you suddenly, without understanding how it is, the next day you will see the world a little differently, as if washed. In fact, it is not the world that has changed - there is always sun and clouds in it - in fact, something has opened up in you. Like a sprout from a grain, like a flower from a bud. This something had been lying “at the bottom” for a long time and was waiting for the opportunity to awaken. Just a fairy tale opened an old small door (behind the stove or behind the painted hearth).
See how easy it is to do. You take a familiar old fairy tale and throw a new hero into it.
Variations are different
A) in an old fairy tale there is a new (different) hero
Comfortable! You won’t have to rack your brains too much to find an original idea. You have a canvas, and you “embroider” on it. For example, take the fairy tale “The Hare’s Hut” (how the fox asked to go to the bunny’s house, and then kicked him out herself). And replace the bunny with a CROCODILE. Do you kick him out a lot? Or you can “replace” the fox, or you can replace the brave rooster.
So: take a fairy tale as a basis. Replace the main character with...whoever you want?
Let's say for the baby's favorite toy. So she will roll into the forest and meet all kinds of animals there. Depending on who gets into the fairy tale, events will unfold differently.
From such a rearrangement you can make a funny game: now a baby elephant is in charge of a fairy tale, now a saucepan, now a bun with a sausage. There will be laughter!
b) the fairy tales are mixed up
But it can be done differently. Who, for example, is stopping you from intertwining the plots of different fairy tales? They stood side by side on the bookshelf, so they got mixed up.
Alyonushka and Ivanushka walked and wandered... the sun is high, it’s far from home, the heat is oppressive, sweat appears. They look: a trace of a calf’s hoof... They followed this trail, and towards them a bull (a good bull, does not butt)... from “The Winter of Animals”. Or maybe not just one bull, but a company (bull, ram, pig, goose and rooster) ended up in this fairy tale...
Or this: ...Ivanushka drank from a goat’s hoof and turned into a little goat. Then he met a goat (“A Goat and Seven Little Kids”), decided that it was her little goat that had gotten lost, and took him to her home... What would happen to him there? It's really interesting.
c) a walk through fairy tales
In a fairy tale, everything is possible. Imagine: a carnival, and there are heroes of your favorite fairy tales.
Or maybe you will make it so that your hero ends up in one story or another, can you imagine how many of them you can make up? The whole series « Walking Through Fairy Tales" will work.
(By the way, ask which fairy-tale hero your child will choose. And what fairy tales he will send him to. Why do you think?).
This also happens: a child such he chooses, he will imagine the events so vividly that he himself will be scared. What to do? Don't get confused. For example, you “put” an airplane on a carpet and fly away. (I wonder how often your child will run away from difficulties? Ideally, it should be like this: he paused (“fly away”), thought carefully, figured out how to restore order in the fairy tale, and “returned” back to it.)
The good thing about mixed-ups is that the imagination has room to run wild. If you want, take one fairy tale as a basis, or if you want, take another, and lead your story according to it, as if on an outline. There is always something to start from, where to turn and how to finish the job.
Change the plots of familiar fairy tales not difficult at all. Here are a few ideas:
Fairytale objects are mixed up: an invisible hat ends up in a house where seven kids live;
The geese and swans dragged away not the younger brother, but his sister...
Instead of Kolobok, a soccer ball is rolling along the path...
Introduce Malvina to the Barbie doll, it was she who ended up under the window of the house, and not Pinocchio;
The evil stepmother turned out to be not evil, but kind, and the stepdaughter - on the contrary;
Instead of a little girl, a little boy would fight with frogs;
And what? And everything will go topsy-turvy, which is exactly what was required.
With older children, you don’t have to limit your imagination and fairy-tale heroes launch into our real world.
What happens if…
Cat Bayun came to the teacher's room... (or maybe for a lesson?)
A pike appears from the ice hole and says: Emelya, I want to marry you...
Sivka Burka jumped to the window of the tower, and sitting at the window was not the princess, but Tsar Pea
There are no more suitors, and Nesmeyana is crying and crying, no one has made Nesmeyana laugh... And then Baba Yaga comes in...
The Firebird flies not to the garden, but to the firefighters
Vasilisa the Wise grabbed an arrow and turned into a frog: “Well, Ivan Tsarevich, you will recognize me!”
Unexpected comparisons – good workout not only for the child, but also for the parents. The more unexpected the better
But there is another undoubted benefit from these funny tales.
You can involve older children in this matter, and they will easily get involved. So, by the way. When, for example, the older one studies with the younger one (brother, sister, nephews). And schoolchildren are drawn to a fairy tale, latently feeling that it will distract, entertain, and suggest a way out of a confusing life situation.
This happens to both adults and children.
When we feel bad, when troubles happen, when we are stuck with a problem and can’t solve it, it’s as if we “roll back” to our past, to a time when everything was fine. Old “bad” habits may even return (from thumb sucking to nighttime troubles). At such moments, children especially need emotional support. And such a walk through old fairy tales does (gives) these two necessary things: an emotional return to the past and good emotional contact with your parents. And when together, when there is something to rely on, you begin to believe that any difficulties can be overcome.
And indeed it is.
Reception second. Your child is a real hero...
You can not use any toys, but “send” a “real” child to a fairyland. Your his. This is a great technique: children really like to become heroes.
How to do it? Here are three ways for you to choose from.
First. A fairy tale is like a fairy tale, and everything in it follows suit. But at the most crucial moment (usually closer to the end), you “send” the child there: your young hero appears in the fairy tale and does a glorious deed - most often he saves everyone. For Leonid, not a single fairy tale was complete without his rescue participation: “And then Lenya came with a gun and dogs and drove away...”
Second. Your child - the Young Hero - is launched into the fairy tale literally right away, from the very beginning. And he acts in it together with other characters. This option is for children who have mastered the fairyland well and understand its features and laws. True, in this version the fairy tale usually changes beyond recognition, but this is even more interesting: the main thing is not to get completely confused and somehow get out of the fairytale troubles.
Option three. The hero travels through different fairy tales, transitioning from one to another. If a child is well acquainted with various fairy tales, then he himself will be willing to help you, compose and travel with you.
You can throw the hero into the thick of things; You can make your own series “Fairy Tale with a continuation”, or you can send it at a moment that will help the child solve some of his problems. For example, you want him to remember his home address well, or he is shy and finds it difficult to meet people. But he settled in the fairy tale “Teremok”, various guests are knocking, he introduces himself to everyone “I am such and such, I live there and there”...
So, you have chosen a fairy tale. Now
Inside any fairy tale in which you “launch” a toddler, he needs to get used to it, and you need to look at his reaction (impressionable children may worry too much about some moments; and having immersed themselves in the role, they may get scared). So start with simpler fairy tales, not angry or dangerous. For example, try for starters the same “Turnip”, which everyone “pulls and pulls, but doesn’t pull out.” Neither the grandfather, nor the woman, nor the granddaughter, nor the bug, nor the cat - no one pulled it out, and in your story, the mouse didn’t help either - it couldn’t. “And then they all sat down and were saddened...” And then your hero appears - your baby (you can even with your favorite equipment, a bulldozer or an excavator)... And... how will you act there, baby? Of course, he will immediately find a way to pull this turnip out. ("Well done!")
If the child is so inspired that he goes to pull out something else, don’t interfere.
Support the initiative, give us fresh ideas. For example, you can help a cat recapture a cockerel from a fox, or drive a bear away from the house. Perhaps he will start retelling “The Turnip” again, this time himself. Wonderful. You sit and...with pleasure “kill” two birds with one stone: the baby is proud of himself and his noble deeds, and you turn from an answering machine into normal person
Give your preschooler cooler fairy tales. A preschooler can get into some pretty messy things. (Have you already heard this proud: “I’m not afraid of anything!”?). Yes, a person wants not to be afraid of anything. And win, and save everyone right or left, and restore justice... (True, often in my own, illogical way). At the age of 4-5, little children have the peak of childhood fears, and by bravely acting in a fairy tale, they seem to strengthen themselves. And deal with their fears. In a fairy tale it is easier for them, everything is clear there: here is good - here is evil, and there is no penumbra; fear itself is personified by some harmful/nasty hero, and by defeating him on a symbolic level, the child feels like a winner in the real world. And then, which is important for the correct formation of a young personality, his self-esteem rises.
Cultural rules
In order not to inadvertently offend, alarm, or alienate their young listeners/storytellers, parents should observe rules:
1) a child is always a hero (even if at first he acts like a fool);
2) the child does not find himself in humiliating situations (and if he does, he gets out of them for a short time and with honor);
3) you do not criticize anything and do not condemn anyone; so you just tell a fairy tale...or make it up together...
4) “there is a lie in the fairy tale, but there is a hint in it...”, but you don’t tell anyone (even the storyteller himself) what you guessed, that you learned some of his secret.
The older your child is, the more strictly these rules should be followed.
For all ages
Not only preschoolers and schoolchildren willingly play fairy tales. (And even more often than we think). Primary schoolchildren will be very happy to listen to your homemade ones, where he/she is the main character. Firstly, this is a reason to sit next to mom/dad, and secondly, who doesn’t want to be a beauty or a hero!
Let us note in parentheses: if a child at this age stubbornly refuses and prefers to communicate with the TV rather than with you, it is worth thinking: is everything normal in the relationships developing in your family? There is some kind of crack here. And what’s most offensive is that if measures are not taken, over the years it can expand and expand.
In general, “small graders” are such a tender age (the latent period, as psychologists call it), when one crisis has passed, another is not yet in sight, and the child is tuned in to dad and mom. Of course, you make peers, friends, the first teacher is in great authority, your (still small) first secrets have appeared... But the “baby” is still nearby, so close that he even allows himself to be hugged, and if he argues, it’s more about trifles, and willingly, willingly communicates.
A tale for two
Try going to a familiar fairy tale together. Staying together will give it a special piquancy: it will turn out to be a recreational and entertaining fairy tale, a fairy tale-joke and at the same time a useful lesson “how good we all are together.”
It's very funny when the two of you find yourself in an old fairy tale: you don't know where it will turn. Some parents believe that schoolchildren will not get involved in such a game. Nothing like that! The only main thing here is to choose the right time. For example, on the road, when there is absolutely nothing to do, why not just write something? or, for example, when you are standing in a long line, or at a festive table, when you are already tired of chewing, but you don’t want to leave.
Perhaps you will get the most important role. For example, you are a pike, and your son or daughter takes you away from Emelya... Or, for example: the hero jumping to the window of the tower will be your son, and you, accordingly, will be Sivka - Burka, who appears at the first whistle and puts him into the clouds. (How do you think the child will call you: with a whistle? with a verbal command? or with a good whistle?). Or maybe you will be given the role of the Firebird... or her feather... (“as long as it’s not a roasted rooster,” as one mother said) However, you can restore justice.
Switch roles. Let the child be in your shoes (oh, in your fairy-tale image!), and you in his.
Such a fabulous move will most likely give you interesting information to think about. How the child treats you, what he thinks about you. You look at yourself from the outside, and he (accidentally) may let slip about some secrets, and you will understand the essence of relationships with friends, and how he treats the other sex (the time of falling in love is school time)
In a fairy tale, you can easily give advice, and in such a way that a young person wants to listen to the advice. Because you help the hero with advice, and don’t lecture him
Because in a fairy-tale action you do not impose anything, but simply (with a clear example, image, situation) show: how you should act and what will happen if you do such and such.
Teenagers– a special people... a unique tribe. They are independent and want to decide everything on their own. But, despite their outward detachment, they are still children. And just as before, they need your advice and your support. (They’re just embarrassed to say it). And they are drawn to you (in their souls), and everything unusual, non-traditional especially attracts them. They will not refuse a fairy tale if their “adultness” plays along. Instead of “fairy tale” say “fantasy”, and replace Kolobok with Superhero. And so - everything is like in a true “Kolobok”. Here is your sweet daughter (about fifteen years old) sitting on the window, looking at the scarlet sunset (either she’s waiting for the prince, or she’s yearning), then she jumps up and... In what forest will she run away? Who should she meet along the path?
Fairy tale - good way establish contact with the child when he is upset. Or give helpful advice. Teenagers really can’t stand advice; Everything seems to be taken for granted. In a “fantasy fairy tale” you can play out any situation and solve problems - on a fairy-tale level. All children really need our advice, they just now, at this age, are embarrassed to ask (“what if they think I’m small, I’m big”)
After all, why do growing children often distance themselves from us? Yes, because our annoying concern is like that bear in the little house: if I can’t get through the door, I’ll try on the roof.
Do you know what a growing child or teenager lacks most? That they listened to him! Over all the past years, he has listened to so much from his fathers/mothers, so much has been advised and told to him, that now mutual understanding is possible when you hear him. He desperately needs to be told what is there, in his soul, and what he thinks about this or that matter (including about you). Agree that with the help of a fairy tale it is much more convenient...
Yes, and perhaps it will be better for mom and dad.
The fairy tale "Teremok" is Russian folk tale, which has many interpretations in many peoples. For the first time, three versions of the fairy tale were recorded and published in the collection of Russian fairy tales by A.N. Afanasyev in 1873.
Many storytellers and folklorists have diluted the invariant plot with their own details. Thus, the versions of A.N. are known. Tolstoy, M. Bulatov, V. Suteev, V. Bianchi. Particularly noteworthy is the version of M. Bulatov, who changed the ending of the fairy tale by adding the restoration of the mansion to the plot.
What is important to highlight in the plot of the tower?
The fairy tale “Teremok” is quite simple in terms of plot. The first three options, recorded by A.N. Afanasyev, differ in small details.
It is important to note that the heroes of the fairy tale are various animals who, if not enemies with each other in the real world, are at least not friends. But there is clearly some meaning behind this listing of animals.
Look, firstly, the animals are listed in order of increasing size. The filling of the tower begins with small animals and insects, such as mice, flies, mosquitoes, and ends with large animals such as a wolf and a bear. The bear breaks this chain. Secondly, the animals are depicted without any additional characteristics. The fairy tale simply indicates the fact of the appearance of another animal at the tower, after which it (the animal) is personally identified using a joke nickname (mouse-hole, frog-frog...). Indeed, this enumeration of animals gives the child an understanding of what you need to see in your neighbor, first of all, a Person, no matter whether he is your friend or enemy, because it is no coincidence that at a certain moment in your life this very person appeared in front of you: perceive him as a reward - if it is a good person, take it as a test - if it is a bad person.
What is the tower an image of?
The object of the mansion itself is not revealed in the fairy tale: whether it is a jug or a horse’s head, there is no further description of the mansion as a dwelling as it is unnecessary, that’s not the point.
In the initial understanding, the tower in a fairy tale is an image of a house that shelters everyone who comes. As a rule, a person associates home with peace and tranquility. It is peace that is the hidden maxim of the tower, under the roof of which so many different animals gather and live peacefully in it. How can one not remember the phrase of St. Seraphim of Sarov:
“Obtain a peaceful spirit and thousands around you will be saved.”
Look, the fairy tale indirectly conveys the idea of the importance of the inner world - this is achieved by the fact that the animals friendly welcome every animal that comes into the house, in other words, they are internally reconciled. And through the inner world comes the outer world, because the animals lived in harmony before the arrival of the bear. In other words, we can conclude that the world (as a spiritual concept) is also a certain connotation of the mansion.
Another important detail is that the fairy tale does not indicate any additional external attributes of the life of animals in the tower, but we know that if something is silent in the fairy tale, then it matters. In this case, the silence highlights the friendly attitude of those living in the tower towards newcomers. In fact, this is the only thing that is shown in the fairy tale, repeating itself every time with the next animal.
Terem-teremok! Who lives in the mansion?
I, little mouse; and who are you?
And I'm a frog.
Come live with me.
A frog came in and the two of them began to live together.
That is why the spatial significance of the tower is not indicated in the fairy tale, or rather, it is indicated as obviously small, since it is very important to show the internal attitude of the inhabitant of the tower to the newcomer. In other words, they say: don’t think about how much space you have in your home: a lot or a little - this is not what is required of you. But it turned out that all the animals fit into the little house, although if you imagine that a wolf, a fox and a dog fit into a jug, then some kind of logical dissonance arises. This is the simple but most important idea of the fairy tale! Be ready to help everyone who comes and asks. Don't rely only on your own strength and thoughts! God will arrange everything! It’s the same in life: some things seem unthinkable, but you just have to rely on God, and the situation will resolve itself.
Why didn't the bear get in?
