The Influence of early childhood education on the formation of positive character
Abstract
Early childhood education (PAUD) helps children develop basic cognitive, social, emotional and physical abilities. It is important for children to receive an adequate education because of how quickly they learn and develop in these formative years. A child's future is strengthened by early childhood education, which also helps them develop extraordinary character characteristics that will help them overcome challenges and live better lives. Early childhood education places great emphasis on moral, emotional, intellectual and spiritual development in addition to physical growth. Children learn in a fun, supervised environment where they gain the basic information and skills necessary for higher education. Children gain social and emotional skills from early childhood education, which are important for interacting with people and managing various situations. The aim of this article is to increase awareness of the importance of early childhood education in developing moral character and providing a strong foundation for a child's future. A child's character development is influenced by a number of factors, including parenting style, school, family relationships, and parental responsibilities. The family is very important in forming a child's character, because children usually imitate the actions of their parents. Apart from that, character development is greatly influenced by schools, from primary to secondary education. Teachers have a role in transferring moral and attitude information. The formation of children's moral character is also influenced by the surrounding environment. A child's character can be successfully formed and prepared to contribute to society in the future through integrated methods involving family, school and environmental variables.
