Abstract: (312 Views)

Literature is a full-view mirror of the conditions of every society in different historical eras, and literary texts are always the best reference for studying and examining the social conditions of different strata of people in every era. Children are also the main foundations of the formation of any society, and examining the role and attention of scholars and writers of each nation and nation to this group of society can shed light on many cultural and social issues of that era. For this reason, in the upcoming research, the manner and frequency of children's presence in one of the valuable texts of Persian literature, Boostan, will be investigated in the context of the lifestyle theory of Alfred Adler, the leading psychologist of the 20th century. The findings of this article show that paying attention to children's gender is not very important in the garden, and even where gender is mentioned, boys are considered, and among parenting styles, authoritarian and authoritarian styles are the most present. This shows Sa’adi's advice-giving and idealistic spirit. Two months have been spent to conduct this research (data collection and analysis).

Keywords: Life Style, Alfred Adler, Childhood, Child, Saadi's Boostan.
