Short Stories For Kids From Day to Day Life
Story 1 - The Importance of Positive Thoughts.
Once, there was a boy named Shyam. He was 8 years old. He had a lot of friends. It was his routine to meet them at a park near their house. They enjoyed a lot while at the park. One day one of his friends started taking about monsters . This story opened up a lot of conversations about monsters, zombies , ghosts etc.. All the kids weaved stories about them and spoke for a long time.
Shyam carried all this in his mind. After going home, he finished his homework, had dinner and got into bed. The stories kept on spinning in his mind. He wanted to get rid of them but just could not come out of those thoughts. With a disturbed sleep, he woke up for water. But was too scared to go the dining room to fetch water. He wanted to go his parents who were sleeping right in the next room but did not get the courage to go out of his room. Not knowing what to do, he simply sat calm for a while. He suddenly remembered a story narrated by his grandpa about a brave prince who fought with a monster in the dark. Keeping that story in mind, he slowly moved out of the room. It was dark in the passage. He swiftly ran to the dining table, grabbed the water bottle and ran back to his room. He drank some water. By then he realized that the stories running in his mind did not affect him anymore.
This little action of bravery gave him a lot of confidence and courage. He was not afraid anymore!
Parenting Takeaway:
Often kids get scared about being in the dark. Conversations, cartoons and other forms of horror content can trigger this anxiety further. It is a good idea to encourage kids to talk about what is scaring them and talk them through their fear.
It is also a great idea to speak about stories of bravery and valour to kids. These stories help them build their own courage, when they face tough situations.

Clara's mother felt very bad for the behavior of her daughter. She decided to have a chat with her kid. A few days after the conversation, she once again fell back to her bad behaviour. Mother decided to drive home the point with a tougher stance this time.
