In the digital age, children's character crises often stem from a disconnection between parental verbal instructions and concrete actions. Adab al-qudwah (exemplary role modelling) serves as a crucial instrument in bridging this gap to foster a child's moral immunity. This study aims to explore and recontextualize the concept of exemplary role modelling in family education based on Hassan Syamsi Pasha's perspectives in the book Kayfa Turabbī Abnā’aka fī Hādhā az-Zamān. This research is a qualitative library study using a descriptive-analytical approach. Primary data is sourced from the text of Hassan Syamsi Pasha’s work, processed through Krippendor’s content analysis technique, and synthesized with the contemporary challenges of the digital era. The findings indicate that effective character building centers on parental behavior as the primary model through four pillars: (1) Internalization of trustworthiness (amanah) and respect for privacy rights as a foundation for digital ethics; (2) Cultivation of noble ethics (muru’ah) through empathic conflict management; (3) Discipline in wise media communication (cyber-etiquette); and (4) Internalization of gratitude through eating manners aligned with the Sunnah. Pasha’s concept synthesizes prophetic values with modern situational awareness, where parental example transforms into a fundamental form of digital literacy. This research implies the necessity for parents to maintain behavioural coherence as a preventive filter against moral disorientation in modern times.
