The survey of 2，000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9 pm on Watch, and sees six episodes based on traditional fairytales.The poll found a quarter of parents polled wouldn't consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they prompt too many awkward questions from their offspring.
Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said 揃edtime storioes are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly.But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it's understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children.?揂s adults we can sbeee the innocence in fairytales, but a five瓂ear璷ld with an over active imagination could take things too seriously.Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will triumph over evil and there is always a moral to the story.?Thnd e study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares.
