Abstract

The cultivation of moral and religious values in early childhood is a foundational component in fostering holistic character development. This literature study aims to analyze the role of early childhood education teachers, the influence of the family environment, the effectiveness of parent–teacher synergy, and the supporting and inhibiting factors in the internalization of moral and religious values. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through literature review, this study synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed academic sources. The results indicate that ECE teachers play a strategic role as role models, facilitators, and motivators through methods such as habituation, storytelling, and value-integrated learning. Concurrently, the family particularly through democratic parenting and consistent religious practices contributes significantly to the moral development of children. The synergy between teachers and parents enhances the consistency of value internalization, especially when supported by collaborative programs, two-way communication, and digital parenting initiatives. However, challenges such as limited parental understanding, lack of educational resources, and negative digital influences hinder optimal collaboration. These findings underscore the necessity of effective communication, continuous teacher training, and active parental involvement to ensure the successful moral and religious education of young children.

Abstract

Empathy and sharing are essential foundations in shaping the social character of early childhood, as they play a crucial role in fostering compassion, cooperation, and the ability to build positive relationships with others. However, in practice, many behaviors among young children still reflect a low level of empathy, such as reluctance to share toys, competing for play materials, and being insensitive to peers’ feelings. This study aims to analyze the symptoms of low empathy and sharing attitudes among early childhood learners through observational approaches in preschool settings. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method using non-participant observation and informal interviews with classroom teachers. The findings revealed that egocentric behavior in children tends to arise from a lack of habituation, limited social simulation, and insufficient positive reinforcement within the learning environment. This study emphasizes the importance of implementing consistent and collaborative social-emotional learning strategies between teachers and parents to nurture empathy and sharing attitudes in young children.
