The purpose of this study is to categorize the role of family and social media in shaping the polite character of students in elementary schools and refuting or agreeing with habitus theory of Pierre Bordieu. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The research subjects were four fifth grade students of Supriyadi Elementary School and Primadana Elementary School in Semarang and their parents. Data collection uses interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses interactive inductive techniques. The results show that the family has a role in educating, teaching knowledge, and evaluating every attitude and behavior of elementary school students as long as he was in the scope of the family, school, and community. Whereas social media does not play a positive role in shaping students' polite character, but instead plays a role in disrupting and damaging their polite characters. Therefore, the family must play a role in managing the use of social media for children in a variety of functions, such as management as a means of education, entertainment, and communication tools to maintain their polite character.
