Use of fairy tales as a therapeutic tool dates back to ancient times because Greeks already used fairy tales as a tool to impact human emotions, attitudes and behavior. By fairy tales, children make a parallel between themselves and the protagonists and through the protagonists’ experiences they develop their own cognitive, emotional or social competencies necessary to deal with specifi c situations in their own lives. Interestingly – as stressed by B. Bettelheim – children select from fairy tales things they are ready for, what they can handle at a given moment, at the level they need. Fairy tales are therefore an important tool for children to learn about the world and I would even say that they are “tools for social and cultural decoding” which help children to get to know and understand the adult world. On the other hand, they are tools that enables adults to discover what is happening in the children’s minds of. Thus, a question arises, what kinds of therapeutic fairy tales exist. How to prepare a fairy tale? How can they be used in everyday educational work? This article presents a method of preparing a therapeutic fairy tale and examples of using fairy tales in educational work with children.

The article reveals different aspects of telling therapeutic fairy tales that are aimed at psychological and educational assistance to the individual. Therapeutic fairy tales help to correct child’s behavior, some psychological deviations, reveal creativity, and instill moral values. In addition, therapeutic fairy tales heal the soul and touch the most important human senses, such as friendship, love, family relationships, social values, personal growth. If you are carefully listening to a fairy tale, it is certainly possible to find an important source of wisdom. You can come across the following kinds of fairy tales: fictional; didactic; psych correctional; psych therapeutic; and meditative. Fictional fairy tales are literary works (tales, legends, stories, etc.). Didactic fairy tales are the tales that are motivational and are aimed to motivate people to study a particular material. Psych correctional fairy tales are tales that are invented by psychologists, doctors and parents to solve some psychological problems of children. Psych therapeutic fairy tales are tales that help people change themselves, their world view. The main objective of meditative fairy tales is the removal of a certain psychological pressure, stress etc. Fairy tales help children find the reviews of their own lives. And as a result children want to use an example of the positive hero in the struggle with their fears and problems. In addition, fairy tales give hope to a child that, no doubt, is a very important point. It is a mistake to think that fairy tales are focused only on children, because in the soul of every adult there is a little child who adores not only to listen to a variety of fabulous stories, but also to invent them. Adults gladly create fantastic characters who overcome various obstacles, difficulties, fears and so on. Parents often tell their own fictional stories to children. It was found out that the uniqueness of telling therapeutic fairy tales as a method of practical psychology and pedagogy, firstly, has no age restrictions and, secondly, it can be applied to both people who develop “normally” and people who have special needs.
