Fairy is a literary kind that children encounter very early in their childhood, whether it is oral or autochthonous. Through fairy-tale children, they know the world and the people around them, their relationships with a special focus on the moral message that the fairy tale carries. In the introductory part, talk will be about fairytales as a literary type, its place in children's literature, the development of fairy tales through history and psychoanalytic fairy tales. Furthermore, the importance and role of fairy-tale in the child's life, its impact on the overall development of the child as well as the therapeutic effect of fairy-tale on the child will be presented. In the empirical part of the work, questionnaires will be explored as fairytales in parental education and pre-school institutions, attitudes of parents and educators about the appropriateness and importance of fairytales for the only child, and the fairytale reception of children and their response to read and talked fairy tales.
