Planting Values through Character Education for Early Childhood

Abstract




The early years are an important period for childhood development. This fundamental period is often referred to as the ‘golden age’. At an early age, teachers and parents are tasked with providing the basis or foundation for children’s lives in the future. One of the most important elements is the inculcation of life values that will shape the mindset and behaviour. Instilling these values can commence when the child is able to communicate well, and can be undertaken via habituation and the regular patterns of daily life. The purpose of this research is to provide a study of value planting through character education in early childhood. This research is a literature study conducted by researchers by analysing theoretical studies related to the early childhood, particularly those relating to moral and value development and character education.


Keywords: Early childhood, moral and value development, Character education
