The statement "one purpose of fairy tales is to help children master the problems associated with growing up" is true.
Fary tales largely provide guideposts for children to master tasks of growing up. Fary tales refer to a folklore genre that takes the form of a short story. Such stories typically feature entities such as dwarfs, dragons, elves, fairies, giants, gnomes, goblins, griffins, mermaids, talking animals, trolls, unicorns, or witches, and usually magic or enchantments.
