<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the influence of democratic parenting patterns on the character development of early childhood at SPS Al-Ahqaf Jatimakmur, Bekasi City. The research employed a quantitative approach with a comparative method (ex post facto). The sampling technique used saturated sampling with 30 parents and 30 children as respondents. Data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of simple linear regression analysis obtained a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.812, indicating a very strong relationship between parenting patterns and children's character development. The coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.660 indicates that parenting patterns contribute 66.0% to early childhood character development, while the remaining 34.0% is influenced by other factors outside the study. The t-test results showed a t-value of 7.373 with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), so H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. These findings indicate that the better the parenting patterns applied by parents, the better the children's character development. Parents are expected to apply positive, loving parenting patterns and provide good examples so that children's character development can grow optimally according to their developmental stages.]]>
