Peran Orang Tua dalam Pembentukan Karakter Religius Anak Usia Dini di TKQ Daarul Mu’minin Buaran Serpong

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of parents in shaping the religious character of early childhood at TKQ Daarul Mu'minin Buaran Serpong, as well as to identify the factors that influence and the obstacles encountered in the process. The formation of religious character in early childhood is an important aspect of education because at this stage of development, children are very receptive to the values, attitudes, and behaviors that will shape their personalities in the future. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and parents of students as research informants. The results show that parents play an important role in shaping children's religious character through the habit of worship, providing examples of religious behavior, and assisting in daily religious activities. Factors that support this role include parents' awareness of the importance of religious education, a religious family environment, and cooperation between parents and schools. The obstacles faced include parents' limited time and the influence of the digital environment. This study emphasizes the importance of synergy between families and schools in supporting the formation of children's religious character from an early age.
