Early Childhood Character Education During the Covid Pandemic 19

Abstract

This Early childhood is often said to be the golden age, namely the basic period in the life of a child which will affect his life in the future. It was during this golden age that parents and teachers had a good opportunity to instill values in children. The inculcation of values can be done in two settings, namely the character education setting in the family and also the character education setting in school. Character education is very important, given the inevitable development of the era that will bring children into a generation whose character values are getting lower. Character education carried out from an early age aims to build a child's character, and continues throughout his life. During the Covid 19 pandemic, learning in children was carried out with assistance by parents so that family settings were the most important thing in cultivating character values in early childhood. Cultivating Moral Values in Early Childhood can be done by various methods, namely the Play Method, Storytelling Method, Assignment Method, and Conversation Method.
