Yes, there are many family - friendly and positive story themes such as adventure stories, fairy tales about friendship, and stories of self - discovery. Adventure stories can take readers on exciting journeys through different lands, full of mystery and challenges. Fairy tales about friendship teach valuable lessons about loyalty and kindness. And stories of self - discovery can inspire readers to explore their own identities and potential.
The phrase as it stands has rather inappropriate connotations.

One way is through strict editorial policies. Publishers should have clear guidelines that prohibit such inappropriate content. They need to screen manuscripts carefully to ensure that only family - friendly and positive literature is published.
