In the last step of each learning, there needs to be a discussion and reflection of the learning outcomes, this is to discuss the learning that children get and find out what children capture in learning. Thus, the HOTS approach can be integrated into everyday life through simple activities by learning through play, learning from children's real lives that are prepared according to aspects of child development. These activities not only improve cognitive abilities but also foster and shape various positive characters in children such as critical, disciplined, responsible and independent. This finding underlines the supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of character formation in children with the HOTS approach. Supporting and inhibiting factors are divided into two, namely external and internal. Internal supporting factors include human resources, facilities and services, internal supporting factors include curriculum and parents. Internal inhibiting factors for implementation include child readiness and teacher readiness, external inhibiting factors include the background of the child and adults around the child. In this study, it was found that to create children who think critically and creatively with the HOTS approach, educators must be more critical and creative in solving problems. %Z Fahrunnisa, M.Psi.
