Fairy tales offer a child-sized window into the world
For the renowned child psychologist Bettelheim, fairy tales create a unique way for children to comprehend and come to terms with their inner emotions and the existential question of life. For generations, children have grown up on the tales of Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Hansel and Gretel and numerous other beloved fairy tale characters. However, with an increasing number of parents turning away from this rich literary seam, a new generation are at risk of being left in ignorance of this legacy.
