Shall we just carelessly allow children to hear any casual tales which who may be devised by a casual person? Or allow them to receive their ideas from the very opposite which we wish them to have when they are grown up?
We Cannot!
Anything received into the mind at a young age is likely to become inevitable and unalterable. Therefore it is important that the tails which the young first here should be models of virtuous thought.
--Plato's Republic
