The translation of children's literature, due to its decisive role in psychological growth, character building, and the shaping of social behaviors, requires a specialized, sensitive, and non-commercial approach. With functions such as evoking aesthetic pleasure, strengthening imagination, providing psychological comfort, entertainment, and raising awareness, children's literature can address three fundamental needs of the child: emotional needs (joy, hope, psychological security), cognitive needs (moving from sensory perception to critical-social thinking), and personality needs (identity formation and individual independence alongside socialization). Given that the share of translated works in Iran's children's book market exceeds that of domestically authored works, the quality of title selection and translation assumes double significance. Existing challenges include publishers' tendency to publish illustrated works to reduce costs, disregard for copyright laws, the entry of novice translators with low wages, and the proliferation of parallel and repetitive translations driven by competitive motives, which lead to market chaos and a decline in quality. Proposed strategies emphasize selecting works compatible with Iranian-Islamic culture, specialized training for children's literature translators, establishing professional working groups for pre-publication editing, introducing university courses on children's literature translation, holding translator-training programs, and restricting re-translation when an acceptable translation already exists. Furthermore, promoting reading from the family to schools and public libraries, and producing books free of violence and discrimination, are prerequisites for elevating the psychological and cultural health of future generations.
