PERAN IBU DALAM PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER ANAK USIA DINI PERSPEKTIF ISLAM
Keywords:
Role of mother, Early childhood, Character education, Islamic perspectiveAbstract
Character education has become increasingly important in response to the growing number of behavioral problems among children and adolescents. The family is the primary environment for character formation, and mothers play a significant role because they are involved from pregnancy through the parenting process. This study aims to analyze the role of mothers in early childhood character education from an Islamic perspective. The research employed a qualitative library research approach and used descriptive-analytical methods to examine relevant scholarly literature and Islamic sources. The findings indicate that, in Islam, character education begins in the prenatal phase and continues throughout the postnatal phase. Mothers contribute by improving themselves before marriage, choosing a kind spouse, maintaining their spiritual and emotional well-being during pregnancy, breastfeeding, providing good role models, fostering positive habits, and accompanying the entire educational process with prayer and tawakkul (trust in Allah). This study affirms that mothers' contributions constitute a valuable foundation for children's character development, which can be further optimized through the active involvement of fathers as equal partners in parenting.
