儿子要掉牙了,我预先察看牙齿仙女的文章,有一段这么说的 * K+ K5 r8 K! I6 ~9 i/ v ( D1 Z3 ^& p6 a9 xThe primary useful purpose of the tooth-fairy myth is probably to give children a small reward and something to look forward to when they lose a tooth, a process which they might otherwise find worrisome. It is fun for both parent and child. It also gives children a reason to give up a part of themselves that they may have grown attached to.' S. p6 @# w! d @) E2 D
' `& a4 c0 r7 F, K9 i4 ySome believe that other useful purposes include giving children a sense of faith in things unseen, believing in the incorporeal, and helping them understand the difference between the real and the imaginary. ; T" F' F" @ Z; y8 `2 J7 S$ e; _! |& I* k: a: Q! s& ~
