Abstract:
Unbeknownst to many, a child's character does not develop
spontaneously; instead, it undergoes a process that involves specific
phases, particularly during early development, especially for young
children. Parental attention in shaping a child's character during this
period is crucial. In forming the character of young children, the
environment and the family role-play a significant influence. This
research employs a qualitative descriptive method to explore this process.
In this article, the researcher examines the process of forming the
character of young children, focusing on three main elements: family,
school, and community. The research findings indicate that the formation
of the character of young children begins with the family, is further
influenced by the school, and involves the role of the community,
including play communities and talent development courses attended by
young children. Nevertheless, the family remains the primary and
foremost factor in the process of shaping a child's character, being the
most minor and highly influential community for them.
