Some people believe they are real. There are many accounts where little kids seem to have memories of past lives that are too detailed to be just made up. For example, in some cases, kids have accurately described people and places from a supposed past life.
First, think of simple and interesting ideas like a magical adventure or a day in the life of a cute animal. Use easy words that kids can understand. For example, 'big' instead of 'enormous'. Then, create characters that are relatable to kids, such as a little boy or girl, or a friendly monster. You can also add some colorful pictures if possible to make the story more attractive.
One creepy little kid story is about a child who would always stare at an empty corner of the room and laugh, as if there was someone there. Another is a kid who used to whisper strange things in a made - up language no one could understand. And there was a child who would draw really dark and disturbing pictures without any prior knowledge or exposure to such things.
They are important because they can inspire kids. For example, if a story is about a kid achieving something great, other kids may be motivated to do the same. It gives them a positive example to follow.
There is also 'The Little Red Riding Hood'. A little girl goes to visit her sick grandmother through the forest. Along the way, she meets a wolf who tricks her. In the end, a hunter saves her and her grandmother. It can teach kids to be cautious of strangers.
Once there was a little kid who thought his dog could talk. He would sit for hours having 'conversations' with the dog. Every time the dog barked, he'd respond as if it was making real sentences. It was so funny to watch.
One characteristic is simplicity. They usually have simple plots that are easy for kids to understand. For example, in 'The Three Little Pigs', the idea of building houses with different materials and the big bad wolf trying to blow them down is straightforward.
Once there was a little kid named Tom. He found a magic key in his garden. When he turned the key, it opened a door to a world full of talking animals. He befriended a rabbit who could run super fast and they had races together.
Simple and relatable characters are a big part of it. Like a little girl who loves her teddy bear more than anything and has a series of sweet adventures with it. Also, there's usually a positive or funny outcome. For instance, a boy who tries to bake cookies and makes a huge mess but in the end, the cookies turn out deliciously funny - shaped. Another characteristic is that they can teach simple lessons in a very gentle way, like sharing through the story of two kids fighting over a toy at first but then learning to share and have more fun together.
One time, there was a little kid on a plane. He kept kicking the back of my seat non - stop during the whole flight. I asked him politely to stop but he just giggled and continued. It was really annoying.
