<![CDATA[Children’s mental health is a crucial component of sustainable development, particularly within the framework of SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, which emphasizes psychological well-being from early childhood. In Muslim families, parents act as the primary educators responsible for shaping children’s mental health by integrating Islamic values with contemporary educational strategies. This article is written with the aim of analyzing the role of parents in educating children’s mental health in Muslim families and identifying Islamic-based educational strategies relevant to achieving SDG 3. The study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis of 40 academic sources, with data analyzed through thematic techniques supported by NVivo 12 software. The results of the analysis reveal four major themes: parental spiritual guidance, Islamic communication, habituation of healthy behavior, and strengthening of the family environment. The findings affirm that children’s mental health education cannot be separated from Islamic values, with parents serving as the primary role models in fostering psychological resilience. The implications of this study contribute to the development of an Islamic family education model that supports the achievement of SDG 3 by strengthening children’s mental health within the Muslim family context.]]>
