Early Character Education For Children In Single-Parent Families (Parenting)

Abstract

It is crucial to introduce, instil, mould, and get acclimated to character education for young children as soon as feasible. Early infancy, when people are in the prime of their lives, is a perfect time to provide the best stimulation, particularly in the emotive realm. Investigating parenting single parent homes can help with character education for children. This study employs a qualitative methodology and phenomenology. Using both primary and secondary data to get pertinent information about this research issue from observations, interviews, and documents. The interactive analytical model developed by Miles and Huberman was used to evaluate the data and draw conclusions through data reduction techniques, data visualization, and data verification. This study's main finding is that, despite their limitations in terms of knowledge and experience, single-parent households provide a lot of attention to early childhood character education. Religious instruction and teaching young children the importance of discipline are both part of character education. Economic and socio-cultural barriers to early childhood character education also prevent single-parent households from having adequate time to spend with their children in a meaningful way
