<![CDATA[The role of caregiving interaction within the family is an essential aspect of shaping early childhood personality and development. Through warm and positive interactions between parents and children, moral, social, and emotional values can be instilled from an early age. This study aims to examine the role of caregiving interaction in the family toward the development of young children, particularly in forming their character and social behavior. This research employed a qualitative approach using observation and interviews with parents who have children aged 4–6 years, with a total sample of 4 couples of parents from different family environments. The findings indicate that caregiving interactions grounded in affection, open communication, and parental modeling create a harmonious and conducive environment for children’s growth and development. Conversely, authoritarian or inattentive interactions may lead to anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulties in children’s socialization. In conclusion, the role of caregiving interaction within the family significantly determines the direction of early childhood development; therefore, parents need to enhance their awareness and skills in building positive communication and warm emotional bonds with their children.]]>
