N2  - The phenomenon of dreadlocked children in the Dieng region of Wonosobo represents a unique and sacred aspect of cultural identity. Within the perspective of the local Muslim community, dreadlocks are not merely a physical characteristic but are seen as spiritual symbols and ancestral heritage instilled with deep meaning. The parenting patterns of dreadlocked children in early childhood are closely tied to the strong influence of local cultural values and the teachings of Islam, which coexist harmoniously within the community. This study aims to (1) uncover the forms and practices of parenting dreadlocked children in early childhood among Muslim families in Dieng, (2) identify the local cultural values and Islamic teachings that underpin these practices, (3) explore community perceptions of dreadlocked children as Children with Special Needs (CSN/Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus) and the implications for parenting and social acceptance, and (4) evaluate the relevance of culturallybased parenting patterns for curriculum development, pedagogical approaches, and inclusive services in early childhood education (ECE/PAUD) institutions. This research employs a qualitative approach using ethnographic methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, documentary studies, focus group discussions (FGDs), and individual life history narratives. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, involving stages such as transcription, initial coding, theme identification, and thematic interpretation to reflect the sociocultural dynamics within parenting patterns. The findings indicate that, first, parenting patterns for dreadlocked children in early childhood among Muslim families in Dieng are authoritative within a local cultural framework? affectionate, protective, and tradition-based. Parents grant their children freedom and space for expression while grounding this freedom in Islamic values and local traditions. Dreadlocked children are treated with love and care, actively engaged in social activities, and often regarded as ?ancestral trusts? that must be safeguarded. Second, the parenting practices are influenced by local values such as ruwatan (ritual purification), gotong royong (communal cooperation), and sedekah (charitable giving), which align with Islamic teachings such as rahmah (compassion), amanah (trust), and shukr (gratitude). Communal cooperation, charity, gratitude, and collective prayer serve as common grounds between local culture and Islamic principles. Parents and community leaders do not perceive these cultural practices as contradicting Islam but rather as expressions of localized Islamic culture. Third, dreadlocked children are viewed as Children with Special Needs (CSN) within a cultural context. They are believed to possess spiritual distinctiveness that necessitates unique treatment, which affects educational approaches, social interactions, and community acceptance. These children are often categorized as having special needs not due to physical or cognitive limitations, but because of their spiritual and symbolic status. Hence, the community provides them with distinctive treatment, referring to them as ?culturally designated CSN.? Fourth, culturally-based parenting patterns have significant potential to be integrated into inclusive ECE/PAUD curricula and services. The concept of culturally designated CSN emerges as a recognition of the diversity of children?s identities, necessitating adaptive pedagogical approaches rooted in local values and respectful of cultural heritage.
