Traditional stories by Ion Creangă are losing popularity among children, overshadowed by animated tales. Some parents find these classic tales too harsh for young audiences, opting for gentler narratives. Psychologists argue that the conflicts in these stories help children understand the complexities of life. While modern adaptations soften the original tales, experts emphasize the importance of preserving the original themes of struggle and danger. In Iași, children can still connect with Creangă's work at his former home, where they learn about his life and stories. Despite concerns, Creangă remains a top-selling children's author in bookstores.
