Traditional tales are an important part of passing down the colorful stories and lessons of our ancestors, and a wonderful tool for emphasizing our historical culture and morals. But what if our children don't see themselves in the roles of ancient times? What if our young girls don't relate to the "damsel in distress," or if our young boy prefers graceful dancing and pretty costumes? Parents who can adapt to these awkward real life lessons and support and love their children unconditionally are like superheroes to me!
