This article analyzes the role of folk tales, as an integral component of folk pedagogy, in the moral, spiritual, intellectual, and aesthetic development of the younger generation. Particular attention is paid to the educational potential of folk tales as an effective pedagogical factor in counteracting the growing process of spiritual alienation under the conditions of globalization, mass culture, and digital information overload. The study is based on analytical, historical, comparative, sociopedagogical, and psychological research methods. The findings demonstrate that folk tales play a significant role in strengthening spiritual immunity and preserving national identity, especially within preschool and primary education systems.
