Para niños de 3 a 9 años, los cuentos y relatos se utilizan para abordar trastornos de conducta infantil, atendiendo a las inclinaciones y necesidades de los niños. A los niños les encantan los cuentos, y de ellos pueden aprender. Al igual que los héroes de las historias, los niños aprenden a superar dificultades, reducir miedos y resolver problemas. Por ejemplo, Martin deja de lado su miedo a los perros en su viaje onírico con los perritos enanos. Vera aprende a mantener el orden en el país del desorden. Liesi, la gatita, descubre lo perjudicial que es morderse las uñas para las gatas saludables, y una flor mágica ayuda a la princesa a tener una cama seca. Sin presión, los cuentos motivan a los niños a cambiar su comportamiento. Cada uno de los más de veinte problemas tratados tiene su propia historia. Para poner en práctica las sugerencias, los niños necesitan la ayuda y orientación de adultos, información que los padres pueden encontrar en la introducción y en los comentarios posteriores a las historias.
