Farmer parents in Ciracap Village face time constraints and work pressures that can potentially impact their support for early childhood. This study aims to describe the parenting styles of farmer parents in shaping the socially conscious character of early childhood children in Ciracap Village. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study involving five farmer parents, five children aged 5-6 years, and one teacher as informants. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results showed that farmer parents implement a democratic parenting style through role models, habituation, and communication. Children's socially conscious character develops in the aspects of empathy, sharing, helping, and cooperation, with three out of five children showing consistent development. Parental burnout conditions affect the quality of parental emotional interactions, but its impact is mitigated by family support and a culture of mutual cooperation, so that the development of children's socially conscious character continues to take place positively.
