The stories consolidate the connection betweenchild and the educatorThrough the appurtenance of the two in the same space and time, in anactivity that brings them together and that filters not only words, butfeelings, thoughts, gestures.The educator is the story bearer towards the child, especially when the

child cannot read, it is the mouthpiece that gives voice to all characters thatreveal the action and towards which the child invests all his curiosity,disappointment, delight or displeasure.Some favourite stories are reread several times, sometimes there are longstories read by pieces. It is a ritual that contributes to the connectionsconsolidation, sending both to the educator and children the emotion thatappears while reading and listening together.

The stories enrich the emotional life of the child-giving him the opportunity to feel, to live with the characters,having access to view, to hear, to transpose, and to imagine howthey feel and what kind of feelings have the ones from stories.Children often ask questions, sigh, enjoy, cry, they are

completely transposed in that particular story and it loads themwith emotions that they try to understand, having in mind whatthey feel and what happens to the characters.Stories often bring to children conflicting emotions: love, hate,fear, anger, helplessness or confrontation between good and evil.These representations of affects are difficult for children, beingabstract and any form of mediation is useful in their attempt tounderstand them.
