Abstract

Child psychological development is a fundamental aspect that determines the quality of future generations. This study aims to describe strategies for child psychological development based on Qur'anic values as a holistic foundation for shaping healthy and virtuous personalities. A qualitative method with literary analysis was employed, focusing on Qur'anic verses related to child development, encompassing cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. The findings reveal that the Qur'an contains comprehensive pedagogical principles, including the cultivation of fitrah (innate disposition), early reinforcement of monotheism, moral development through exemplary conduct, and the application of compassion in parenting practices. The formulated strategies encompass the integrated internalization of Qur'anic values within family, school, and community environments. The findings of this study confirm that the Qur'anic approach not only strengthens the child's spiritual dimension but also contributes significantly to mental health, emotional stability, and overall social maturity
