<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze and describe family empowerment strategies through strengthening parental awareness in optimizing the potential of early childhood in Wonosobo Regency. The family is the first and foremost environment that determines the direction of a child’s development; however, many parents still have a low level of awareness regarding the importance of their role in their children’s education. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a participatory approach, involving parents, early childhood education (PAUD) teachers, and administrators of early childhood education institutions as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs). The results show that well-planned and participatory family empowerment programs can enhance parents’ understanding and skills in providing developmental stimulation for their children at home. Parenting activities, family education training programs, and school–parent collaboration are key factors in the success of these initiatives. As parents’ awareness and abilities increase, early childhood potential can be optimally developed within the family environment.]]>
