On a personal level and as a teacher, I also believe that reading is fundamental for a child's cognitive growth. A child who grows up listening to stories is a child with a lot of imagination and creativity. The detail is to know what kind of stories to read to them, what kind of values or feelings we want to reinforce. Sometimes that selection can be difficult. Stories with the image of the hero can sometimes be counterproductive, especially when in our country, Venezuela, the image of the hero is undervalued. The idea of a hero who steals from the rich to give to the poor, I don't know how good he is these days. From there to justifying any action of corrupt politicians who steal with the tale of helping the poor, there is only one step. It has to be said: Stealing is bad, without any excuse. Thank you for this post, @luces.
