Abstract
Based on the progress of psychology studies and the attention paid to children's cognitive, personality, emotional, and social development, it has been shown that psychological well-being is important for having a good life and helping children grow up to have productive and successful lives. Zakaria Tamer is a writer who works in the field of children's literature and writes in the Arabic language. He believes that the story is a platform that has an educational and psychological function and that it is effective in nurturing and flourishing the child's personality and ensuring that the child's mental health is maintained. A descriptive-analytical approach was taken in this study to investigate the components of well-being. Taking into account the importance of mental health as well as the need to raise the level of children's productivity and self-actualization, the present study was carried out. According to the obtained results, Zakaria Tamer tries to influence children's personality development and enhance their mental health by using a smooth style, a straightforward fantasy that is based on external reality, and animal characters that are drawn from natural elements and occasionally human. He also explains moral principles in his stories. Finally, he describes psychological well-being indicators in his stories, including personal development, independence, autonomy, effective and positive interpersonal communication, a sense of purpose in life, and control over one's environment. Tamer also aims to institutionalize away from idealistic self-concept and attention to self-concept in the child's institution through symbolic and metaphorical language use.
