Peranan keluarga dalam pembinaan karakter anak tentang perkembangan religius di Desa Tanjung Baru Lampung Barat.
This study aims to examine the role of the family in fostering children's religious character in Tanjung Baru Village, West Lampung. In the era of modernization, there has been a shift in traditional values that influence parenting and education patterns in the family. The family has a crucial role as the first institution to shape character and instill religious values in children. This study uses a qualitative method with a qualitative descriptive approach, namely data collection through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The subjects of the study were families with children under the age of 11 in Tanjung Baru Village. The results of the study show that families in Tanjung Baru Village apply several strategies in fostering children's religious character, including through direct teaching, providing examples, habituation in daily life, motivation, and enforcing rules. Direct teaching involves instilling religious values through - learning at home, such as teaching prayer and reading the Qur'an. Setting an example is done by parents through attitudes and behaviors that reflect religious values. Habituation is applied through religious routines, such as praying in congregation and attending religious studies. Motivation is given in the form of appreciation for children's positive behavior, while enforcement of rules is carried out to form religious discipline and responsibility. However, this study also found challenges in fostering children's religious character, such as the influence of the social environment, limited access to formal religious education, and changes in lifestyle due to modernization. To overcome these challenges, parents try to strengthen communication, increase involvement in religious activities, and collaborate with formal educational institutions and religious communities.
