<![CDATA[Instilling proper conduct (akhlaq) towards parents starting at the elementary school age is crucial for shaping a child's character. Preliminary observations indicated a need to reinforce understanding and cultivate habits regarding respectful behavior towards parents through structured religious education activities. This community service initiative aimed to instill such values in children through an Islamic Religious Education Learning Center in Korong Aie Sonsang Durian Angik, Nagari Sikucur Barat, V Koto Kampung Dalam District, Padang Pariaman Regency. The activity took place on July 22, 2026, at the Community Service Program (KKN) post, involving 15 elementary school-aged children. A participatory education approach was employed, incorporating material presentation, Q&A sessions, Islamic storytelling, discussions, practicing polite behavior, memorizing prayers for parents, and evaluation using Student Worksheets (LKPD). Evaluation was conducted through observation, documentation, and the analysis of worksheets completed by 10 participants; five other participants did not complete the worksheets due to their younger age. The results demonstrated that the participants responded well and participated actively during the session, showing a solid understanding of the material regarding conduct towards parents as evidenced by the worksheet results. The contribution of this activity lies in the implementation of participatory, simple, and contextual religious learning as an alternative method for character building within the community. While this activity provided an initial boost to the children's knowledge and awareness regarding respecting and honoring their parents, the long-term establishment of such behavior requires ongoing habituation and continued guidance.
