Stories for 6 year olds
At six years old, the child went to school and began to suffer consequences that were not decided by adults: the lesson was not completed, friends did not agree, things were not as expected. The stories here are about that — how to admit mistakes, redo things, keep your word, and how to manage when things are harder than expected.

Short answers for parents
Frequently asked questions
How should a 6-year-old child be afraid of doing something wrong or getting a low score?
Comment on the process, not the results: how many ways your child has tried, how persistent he has been. When the value lies in trying, being wrong is no longer a threat.
If a child promises but doesn't do it, should he be punished?
Before punishing, check if the promise is reasonable. Six-year-old children often make promises to please adults, then break their plans because the task is too big.
The child can read now, do parents need to read with him?
Still necessary, but change roles: let your child read to you and you are the one asking. Reading at the same time keeps the connection and helps your child practice expression.
