Abstract [eng] Fairy tales are valuable means for developing positive character traits – they form general understanding of what is right and strengthen the relevant motivation of behavior in the society; fairy tales do not intend to moralize their listeners, therefore, they develop children’s self esteem and sense of confidence. However, cases of use of fairy tales for moral development of children are very rare, as they are depreciated by the present generation and in some cases even completely ignored. The contradiction between the need of society to educate the spirituality of children and to implement moral norms, and insufficient use of fairy tales as a means of education determines the relevance of this article. The aim of the research is to explain the understanding of pupils’ parents about the educational possibilities of fairy tales as well as to determine how this approach is realized in practice. It has been determined that all pupils’ parents participating in the questionnaire survey have a general understanding about cherishing the spirituality of children by the means of fairy tales. However, this understanding is very poor. There are many reasons for that: most of parents rely on fairy tales they listened to in their childhood, because presently they do not read them neither for pleasure, nor for their children. Moreover, parents rarely speak with their children about fairy tales and do not help children to understand life experience that is encoded in the texts of fairy tales, furthermore, they do not discuss the mistakes the characters of fairy tales usually make, do not try to find the reasons of good luck.
