Književnim tekstom pobediti strah – dečji strahovi u poeziji i prozi Dušana Radovića

Abstract

Dušan Radović’s children’s oeuvre was based on his partnership with his little recipients. Showing understanding for children’s position and their problems, he treated them as his equals, by supporting, encouraging and educating them. Aware of the fact that a children’s poet must be wise so as to be able to teach them something and have them trust him, he revealed the truths of life to them as well as the things they were not familiar with. A significant place in Radović’s oeuvre was occupied by the problem of childhood fears and the ways of overcoming them. The paper deals with Radović’s literary texts in which various childhood fears are thematized and also with the ways of using these texts in the context of overcoming prschoolers’ fears.
