Children’s literature helps a young child make sense of what it is to be human and helps them understand the world around them. The fairy tale genre provides ways for children to receive important messages. Although there are some themes in fairy tales that are unrealistic the overall effect is positive and offers fundamental elements for children’s development. Based on the Jungian interpretation fairy tales teach children how to deal with basic human conflicts desires and relationships in a healthy way; acquiring these skills can ultimately impact a child’s health quality of life or even influence its values and beliefs in the future.
