Folklore stories are the first narratives that children hear from adults. One of the most prominent themes embedded in these stories is the concept of "love." The sense of nurturing protection and seeking support permeates the phenomenon of love. From the moment of entering the world and thereafter, until the human framework is formed, children construct the nature of their astonishment at encountering existence through a loving belief. Any unjustifiable disruption or perception of something that contradicts these initial beliefs can disturb a child's mental health. To preserve the child's psychological well-being, the effects derived from maternal and paternal loving relationships must be received by the child. Examining the interpretations of mystics regarding two Quranic narratives centered on love (the story of beauty-oriented love exemplified by Moses' mother and majesty-oriented love symbolized by Jacob, Joseph's father) through a descriptive-analytical methodology and investigating how children's psychology is influenced by the phenomenon of love, it appears that love is a response to the Hestia archetype and serves to resolve childlike wonder upon entering this world. If this response finds appropriate expression through beauty and majesty, it will be a fundamental factor in the child's future mental health. Therefore, we conclude that beauty-oriented love gifts the child with a sense of having support, while majesty-oriented love provides the power of control, thereby shaping the child's mental well-being.
