THE ROLE OF PARENTS IN SHAPING CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING
Abstract
This study aims to examine the role of parents in shaping children's mental health based on the
perspective of Islamic Guidance and Counseling. Using library research as its method, this study
analyzes various literature related to child developmental psychology, parenting patterns, and the
concepts of Islamic Guidance and Counseling. The results show that parents hold a central role
in shaping children’s mental condition through the provision of affection, effective
communication, the creation of a safe home environment, and granting trust that supports the
development of independence and self-confidence. These findings align with Erikson’s
developmental theory and Bowlby’s attachment theory, which emphasize the importance of
secure emotional bonds between parents and children. In the Islamic perspective, parents act as
murabbi and primary role models who instill aqidah, morals, and positive behavioral habits, as
emphasized in Qur'an Surah At-Tahrim verse 6. This study concludes that active parental
involvement rooted in the principles of Islamic Guidance and Counseling significantly
contributes to developing a child’s stable mental health, strong character, and alignment with
Islamic values
