sylvafae.co.uk/blogThis story came about by observing the antics of my own three daughters. Their curious minds and adventurous spirits often get them into mischief. It’s not that they’re naughty, they just get easily distracted from what they should be doing and drift into daydreams instead of listening to instructions.
Like Miss Nightshade, I despair of their behavior and the mayhem that follows, but I’m secretly proud of their creativity and imagination. If truth be told, I was that pesky pixie in my youth.
Children have such short attention spans. As a parent, it’s tricky to find that balance between keeping them focused on tasks and letting them learn through play.
I hope that, through these stories, children will learn that sometimes there are consequences when they don’t listen to a grown-up, but also to have a giggle, as well.
