Good evening everyone!
I read the post from my daughter, then from my wife, and this nostalgia overwhelmed me ...
Remember the "True History of the Red Cap"? No? Look necessarily, if you have not seen this very funny cartoon.
So, I have my version of events).
Yes, in our house about five years lived fairies.
The most real.
More correctly, Fairy Esmeralda at the daughter, and Fej Jaromir at the son.
These winged creatures wrote letters to the children, left gifts, taught the parents the right thoughts, in short, they were the support and friends in everything. Even flew once for birthdays in the flesh.
For a long time I tried to remember why my wife and I suddenly had this idea.
Perhaps after the Disney cartoons.
Or after reading fairy tales?
But I remember exactly on what principles the interaction between fairies and our family was going on.
Maybe it will be interesting for young parents. Or not.
I share, I still do not mind.

His son had a complex of "lack of love" in his childhood. As a younger child, he believed that I definitely love his sister more, and mother - half more. Infinite comparisons and grievances.
My daughter has constant tears, for whatever reason. Hardly that - "the siren howled". And he called her as a joke: "Sirena Batkovna."
At the same time, children - weather; marriage is early, and we were young parents. Pedagogical experience was not yet due to age, respectively, as well as experience.
But the youth rang, he beat the edge, the world was great, and surprising events awaited us ahead.

One evening, having laid the children, we sat with my wife in the kitchen and discussed the problems. Actually, this evening can be considered the Birthday of two fairies of our family.
We intuitively developed and further used the following principles:
Fey is a friend to a child, a friend and a brother (sister). He (she) never swears, does not write evil words, does not chastise the child.
If you need to inspire something (about a bad deed) - a fairy / fairy can be upset, no more. But be upset about the act, and not be disappointed in the child. And write it in a letter.
Fairies are needed in a homeopathic dose. Otherwise, the child is getting used to and trying to solve all of his problems magically. To our children, fairies were written in letters (in beautiful italic font 18-22 on a multicolored sheet) that they have strict discipline, and Senior Fairy rarely allows them to fly.
Children could write a letter in response (in special cases), and put it under the pillow. Well, my daughter in the post all described, uh-huh. Just die, but then answer - otherwise the tale would be showered.
Fairies can inspire the right thoughts to parents (who want a child). But not always.
And the last: when a child grows up - the fairy finds a new one. So ends the tale.
In general, we were just young. Creativ as able. We enjoyed playing with the children in these games.
It is a pity that children grow so fast.
It's great that they grow so quickly.
Soon, I hope, I will have grandchildren.
And here the company "Fairytale" will unfold all the way.
Something I even missed Esmeralda and Jaromir.
Your,
Seregil-creator of fairies
