A recipe-free cure for children<br />

<strong>Fair</strong>y tales impart strength, because they<br />

tell stories about successfully overcoming<br />

obstacles.<br />

This book is a kind of home pharmacy,<br />

containing the right medicines for a wide<br />

range of childhood problems.<br />

With the fairy-tale pharmacy, parents<br />

possess something that can provide help<br />

at any time, without the danger of side<br />

effects, whether their child is scared or<br />

being bullied in school or has no desire to<br />

study, etc.<br />

Reading out loud can also be a means of<br />

addressing more difficult topics like abuse<br />

or death, unburdening children’s souls.<br />

Stephanie zu Guttenberg is president<br />

of the German branch of the international<br />

organisation Innocence in Danger, which<br />

combats the abuse of children and the<br />

dispersal of child pornography.<br />
