Summary/Abstract: Anxieties occur at every stage of a child's development, but in the preschool period they are most common. Children face many problems and weaknesses that they can't cope with on their own. Therapeutic fairy tales are a great method to help them overcome them in an effective way. Thanks to their therapeutic nature, they can also be used during pedagogical therapy classes. One of the forms used to work with children struggling with various fears is fairy tale therapy. Thanks to it, children gain knowledge about their fears, learn to name their own emotions and start talking about their own problems.
