Jeremy Pryor sits down with his son Jackson and daughter Sydney to dissect the symbolic meaning of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Fairy tales are not just silly tales to distract and entertain kids...they are PACKED with meaning and "truer than fact" in the sense that they convey deep principles about how reality actually works. They're designed to warn children and help them make better decisions when faced with trials in their lives.

In Goldilocks, we're faced with the girl's version of Peter Pan...the youth who never wants to grow up and accept their role and responsibility. We see the destructive nature of this within family, and the impact of a culture intent on deconstructing and changing both fairy tales and the "common sense" they bring about.

On this episode, we talk about:

1:15 Introducing Goldilocks and the Three Bears (and how it relates to family and identity)

6:18 Goldilocks is about the struggle that children have to mature and fit into a family

8:29 The initial symbols to pay attention to

16:19 How a child finds her role in the family system

31:59 The collective impact of both the symbolism and the reality of this story playing out in our culture today

42:19 The risk of unintentionally inviting things into your home that are ruining your family

50:39 Why fairy tales are more important than ever today
