Although children’s education has been widely examined from the perspective of Islamic education, discussions that specifically integrate the principles of Islamic educational psychology with the development of children’s cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual aspects still need to be strengthened. This study aims to analyze the concept of children’s education from the perspective of Islamic educational psychology, examine the application of its principles in the process of children’s education, and explain its contribution to optimizing children’s holistic development. This study used a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were obtained from various relevant literature sources, such as books, journal articles, research findings, and scientific documents discussing children’s education and Islamic educational psychology. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify, interpret, and synthesize various concepts found in the literature. The results of the study show that children’s education from the perspective of Islamic educational psychology is a process of developing all children’s potential in a balanced manner, encompassing intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. Principles such as fitrah, role modeling, habituation, compassion, motivation, and supervision play an important role in shaping children’s holistic personality. In addition, Islamic educational psychology contributes to improving critical thinking skills, shaping character and emotional intelligence, developing social skills, and strengthening children’s faith and spiritual awareness. These findings confirm that the integration of psychological dimensions and Islamic values makes children’s education more holistic and oriented toward the formation of morally noble individuals. The implications of this study provide references for families and educational institutions in implementing learning strategies and parenting patterns based on Islamic values to support children’s optimal development.
