Conclusion

Having done this work, we can say with confidence that many genres of children's folklore in the modern world have not lost their relevance. Children's folklore has not ceased to exist and has not turned into a museum exhibit. In modern use, there are both ancient texts of children's folklore and their transformations, as well as new texts, not borrowed from previously existing ones, but built according to the same laws.

So, having made a brief analysis of the current state of traditional and relatively new genres of children's folklore, we can draw the following conclusions:
1) children's folklore is mobile and dynamic: every year it undergoes noticeable changes;
2) "legalization" of folklore in popular culture, periodicals, etc. partly contributes to its washing out of oral practice (the more ditties, anecdotes, “sadistic rhymes” are published, the more they are read, but the less they tell);
3) the replenishment of the text composition of historically established genres is due to the “modernization” of old texts, their “rewriting”; the presence of this fact is a guarantee of the preservation of one or another “old” genre (riddles, counting rhymes, etc.);
4) in the emergence and development of relatively new types of children's folklore, one can see the prospects for the further existence of oral folk art.
But still, based on the results of the survey, I managed to find out, unfortunately, that children use folklore less and less in their lives . Old genres become obsolete and cease to be interesting for modern children, and the birth of new genres ceases to be numerous. Probably, this can be explained by the fact that earlier children were more friendly, knew how to communicate with each other, walked together, played, hence the children's folklore genres arose. But above all, this is due to changes in the cultural and historical conditions of the child's life.
At present, children have simply stopped seeing each other and what is happening around, everyone is passionate about gadgets, iPhones . A child can walk with all his attention on the phone, and it is not uncommon to see how he almost crashes into an adult passerby walking towards him. It's a shame for modern children, because technological progress deprives the child of something important, unique. I would like to hope that by taking away this “something important”, in return he gives something else, no less important.
