Psychosocial Nurturing of Children in Islam

Psychosocial nurturing of children is linked with Parenting and personality development theories and child development theories too report evidences of influences of parenting on children nurturing. The purpose of this paper is to explore existing parenting styles in current literature and how these parenting styles influence upon and form the personality of the children in their early years. The paper aims to examine parenting with reference to authoritarian parenting, authoritative parenting, permissive parenting and uninvolved parenting. It discussed the expectations and responsiveness of the parents which determine their behavior and style. Through parenting, psychosocial nurturing of the children is determined and it was explained in existing literature and analyzed in Islamic teachings. The study followed a critical interpretivist method which examined the literature and conducted content analysis. The study examines the parenting concept and parenting style in Islamic teachings. Islam lays special emphasis on communication and attitude of the parents towards their children particularly in early childhood. Parenting style in Islamic teaching displays a loving and guiding mode. It is less demanding and more responsive in early years. Parenting in Islamic teaching encourages developing tolerance, harmony and peace. It shows flexibility to accept children’s dispositions and tries to discipline their inner faculties. Islamic teachings expect from parents to be responsive with love and passion. It gives children freedom to talk, walk, think and act in a carefree environment where they can become socially and emotionally strong. Parenting in Islam accepts children’s interests and attitudes with positive responses and respects their rights with warmth and love. It particularly develops moral awareness so that children can distinguish between right and wrong and also understand that they need to abide by rules and regulations. Lastly literature also reports that parenting in Islam does not allow any sort of harassment, coercion, frightening and unjust environment for the little angels.

Some Applications of Convolution Operator in Geometric Function Theory

Geometric Function Theory on comprehensive spectrum deals with the geometric properties of analytic functions. In the study of analytic functions, image domains are of prime importance. Analytic functions are categorized into different classes on the basis of geometry of image domains. The core objective of present research is to study some applications of the convolution operator in Geometric Function Theory. We define some new subclasses of analytic functions by using the convolution operator. Several other operators with reference to these classes also under discussion. Our main focus is to generate some new results like inclusion results, integral preserving properties, arc length, rate of growth of coefficients, necessary condition for univalency, closure under convolution with convex functions and some radii results with the convolution operator. We also use some special functions to study properties of the convolution operator. Some application of this operator related to the conic domains is also discussed. The recently developed techniques that are convolution and differential subordination are used to explore some geometrical and analytical properties. The results obtained in this dissertation are also connected with the previously existing results in the literature of the subject.
