<![CDATA[The early childhood period, commonly referred to as the golden age (0-6 years), represents a critical window for the foundation of a child’s personality, including the internalization of Religious and Moral Values (RMV) (Harun Rasyid, 2009). This study aims to analyze the nature, patterns, and effectiveness of Interpersonal Communication (IC) utilized by parents with their preschool children (aged 4-6 years) in Sukamekar Village RT 001/RW 010, Sukawangi District, in the context of RMV installation. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative research methodology (Khaironi & Mulianah, 2017), data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participant observation with selected parent-child dyads. The research framework is built upon the transactional model of IC and Social Learning Theory, emphasizing the role of parental modeling and narrative transfer. The primary findings indicate that the most effective IC patterns involve direct modeling (uswatun hasanah), narrative storytelling (religious fables and examples of the Prophet), and consistent dialogue characterized by high empathy and clarity. The results demonstrate that intentional and frequent parental communication acts as the primary conduit for value internalization, overcoming modern challenges such as media distraction. The study confirms that personalized, emotionally engaged IC is indispensable for shaping early moral character, underscoring the necessity of parental presence and continuous communication in achieving robust RMV outcomes in the modern Indonesian family unit.Keywords: Weverse, Social Media Space, Virtual Community, K-Pop Fandom, NCT Dream, Parasocial Interaction, Communication Features]]>
