The aim is to consider children's attitudes as the elements of the story. The subjects we are going to work on are as follows: To consider carefully the apparent, spiritual, mental and environmental connections, to identify the static and dynamic character, and the protagonist and antagonist of mentioned children. The characters in Shahnameh can be divided in two groups as human (men, women, and children) and non-human (Non –human characters such as: lord, angels, animals, nymphs and legendary figures and etc.) characters. 35 sections in Shahnameh are allocated to children. All children are described based on gender, name, age and social class. Almost all of the characters in Shahnameh's stories have a special name. Gender is an important feature in characters especially in babies. Of course spiritual and mental features and the environment where they have been grown are mentioned and the words are coordinated with mental and social levels. Ferdowsi skill is consistency between characters and environment. Babies' character has consistency with their environment. All these factors will show the mature period, and need behaviors. There descriptions help the reader for deep understanding. KW - Shahnameh (epic of kings) KW - Ferdowsi KW - children KW - elements of the story KW - characterization.
