Pendidikan Karakter Islami Pada Anak Usia Dini

Education is a necessary investment  to create quality human resources. Education can improve living standards and develop personality. According to Law No. 20 of 2003 regarding National Education in Schools, it is not only a matter of mastering the academic field  to train intelligent people. But there is a balance between religious education and academic education that must be taught to children from an early age. Because youth is a golden time. Age is a decisive factor in fully developing a child's  potential. The results showed that about 50% of the change in intelligence occurred by the time children were 4 years old. Increase by 30% again at  age  8  and 20% at  the age after  8 years. The importance of a balance between religion education and academic education that must be struck from an early age is a shared responsibility in promoting noble, well-informed ethics. Training children to have good personality or character  is not easy. It's not as simple as turning the palm of your hand. Requires  process, patience, precision, effort and shared responsibility between school and family. These are all efforts  to build the nation's character by balancing academic and Islamic  education. This effort begins at an early age so that children, as human beings with knowledge, piety and noble character, are ready to face changing times.
