Character Development in Children's Stories

Character development in children's stories is not just about creating fictional personas, but also nurturing real-life qualities. One of the most effective methods I've found in my storytelling journey is to craft characters that reflect the diverse and complex nature of human behavior. By presenting characters who face relatable challenges and make morally grounded choices, you not only entertain but also impart valuable life lessons. How do you currently approach character development in your stories?
