Aside from the Bible (KJV), which can be too intense for little ears depending on the passage, Aesop's Fables are very good:

For reference, Trump's snake poem is actually Aesop's The Farmer & The Snake fable.

Avoid the more modern Aesop interpretations, the closer to the original, the better. These too can be a bit intense so screen and edit as needed.

The takeaway is that the concepts of morality and consequence are crucial pillars in your child's healthy development. Yes, there are severe outcomes in some of these stories. Your kids will be a bit afraid. This is a good thing.

Just make sure to supplement the stories with real world examples, and plenty of counter examples of good outcomes. And always tons of love and support.

Pedes, I can tell you, without a doubt, our next generation of kids that we raised with principles and discipline, will absolutely dominate the future. The regressive left are raising a generation of failures.

Hopefully our kids will figure out how to deal with them gracefully.
