Abstract

This study explores the role of parents in shaping the social character of children in Pinggang Village, Cibal  District, Manggarai Regency. It  addresses concerns regarding instances of childhood aggression, a perceived lack of social character development among children, and limited parental  awareness of  the  importance of  fostering social  character.  Employing a qualitative descriptive research methodology, the study utilized direct observation of children's activities in Pinggang Village. The findings highlight the critical need for parental guidance and support in the development of  children's social character.
