STRATEGI ORANGTUA GENERASI Z DALAM MENANAMKAN KARAKTER SOPAN SANTUN DAN TOLERANSI PADA ANAK USIA DINI (STUDI KASUS DI KELURAHAN PALUPI KOTA PALU SULAWESI TENGAH)NIM.: 24204031007Siti Nur HijjatinauthorThis research is motivated by the phenomenon of declining character traits of courtesy and tolerance in early childhood in the digital era, influenced by technological developments, gadget use, and changing patterns of social interaction within the family and community. Generation Z parents, as a generation growing up in a digital environment, have more open, flexible, and adaptive parenting characteristics, but also face challenges in instilling character values in their children. Therefore, this study aims to examine the strategies of Generation Z parents in instilling character traits of courtesy and tolerance in early childhood, the parenting styles they employ, and the factors that support and hinder this character development process. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research subjects consisted of five Generation Z parents and five young children in Palupi Village, Palu City, Central Sulawesi. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that Generation Z parents' strategies for instilling politeness and tolerance in young children involve three main strategies: positive communication, role modeling, and habituation. Positive communication involves speaking gently, explaining rules, and demonstrating empathy toward children. Modeling is demonstrated through examples of polite and tolerant behavior in daily life. Habituation is fostered through daily routines such as greeting, speaking politely, sharing, and respecting others. The dominant parenting styles are authoritative and authoritarian. Supporting factors in character development include consistent rules, parental role modeling, and parental involvement in children's activities. Inhibiting factors include the influence of gadgets, limited parental time, and the child's social environment. Thus, the success of instilling good manners and tolerance in early childhood is greatly influenced by appropriate parenting strategies, consistent parenting styles, and positive environmental support.370. 114 Pendidikan Moral, Pendidikan Karakter2026-05-18UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU TARBIYAH DAN KEGURUANThesis
