狼和七只小山羊
导读
《狼和七只小山羊》是格林童话里最古老也最直接的一则“安全教育”寓言。把它改成中国寓言体来讲，是因为它的骨架本就与我们的民间智慧严丝合缝：狼把爪子染白、把嗓音改甜，正是成语“披着羊皮的狼”的活教材——坏人再会装，也装不出善心。有趣的是，“往狼肚里填石头”这个结局，格林兄弟后来原样搬给了《小红帽》，可见这则故事的分量。读这个故事，重点不在情节，而在三件事：一是让孩子记住“不听老人言，吃亏在眼前”——小羊们吃亏，正吃在没把娘的话当回事；二是教孩子识破伪装，声音、爪子都可以作假，凡事要亲眼核实；三是感受羊妈妈的冷静与勇敢：孩子没了，她哭过之后擦干眼泪，想的是“怎么救回来”，这份母爱比狼的凶恶更有力量。读完不妨问问孩子：如果狼下次换个花样来敲门，小羊们该怎么识破他？

家长共读提示
读完后与孩子演练“有人敲门怎么办”：定一个只有家人知道的暗号，教孩子隔着门核实身份。还可以对照“披着羊皮的狼”这个成语，问问孩子：看起来和善的人，就一定可信吗？
