3+1 Common Things Kids Love to Believe in

Kids are very eager to understand the world, but at the same time, there are some things that they want them to be as they have imagined them to be. Some convenient truths that make them feel happy. The real world can be cruel, but that does not necessarily mean that children will go ahead and believe in it. Perhaps this is good because most exciting ideas have come from an inspiring imagination rather than a cold calculation of realistic numbers. Their innocent approach comes with a scent of freshness and optimism. The idea that everything will be alright is basically the gist. Let us see how this is translated into common concepts that most children like to share.

1. The good always wins
   From a very young age, children get to listen to fairy tales. Loving parents usually try to read to their kids; according to scientists, fairytales positively affect the growing-up process. They help kids develop critical thought, and they secure peaceful psychology. The most important factor that is met in all fairytales is the existence of good and evil. Two opposite forces in constant conflict. Every fairytale has a happy ending, and this is for two reasons. First, to show the kids that the good always thrives. Secondly, make them happy after they confirm this is a solid truth. If the good always wins, the world is easier for them, and it makes sense. This way, they will always know the right thing to do and work in that direction.
2. There is life after death, and it is a happy place
   What happens after we die, is a major issue that troubles young kids’ minds. Especially if they have lost a close sibling, this thought will cross their mind very often. They need to believe that if someone dies, this does not mean the end. This person goes somewhere and is not completely lost. Consider that kids love this person and want them to be happy. Paradise is the perfect place to host their beloved ones and will someday be the house for them too. There they can be reunited and return to a familiar situation where everyone is together, and they can casually hang out again.
3. Mama loves them
   A critical question has to do with how kids feel about themselves. Kids are trying to find a way to build their self-confidence, but more importantly, they want to build their self-love. In the beginning, this happens only through their parents’ eyes, especially the mother’s. While in the previous example, we see how much kids love their parents and how they want them to be happy and safe even after they die. In this case, kids need to feel this love being returned to them. Every time they feel they do not receive this love, their soul is traumatized. Only if their parents love them can children love themselves. This happens because kids can only understand these complicated issues as a reflection of other people’s reactions. Their interactions with their surrounding environment will reassure them that everything is going according to plan.
4. Santa is real
   Finally, we cannot forget the most precious invention. Introducing Santa Clauss to children is also a part of their innocent age. Santa Clauss, according to their imagination, is a superficial loving grandpa who loves them unconditionally. In the past, parents used to threaten the young kids that if they were not obedient, Santa Clauss would not give them a present on Christmas. However, Santa Clauss always finds something positive in their behavior and returns every year with a gift sliding to the chimney. It is a way to help them believe they have done all good and deserve something. In addition, let us not forget that kids can write Santa what they want for Christmas. They have communication with the guy, and they can share all of their thoughts with him. His positive reply is the world to them, so why would they ever want him to be fictional?
