A child's discipline plays a crucial role in shaping their character, academic success, social skills, and mental and emotional well-being. The formation of a strong character begins with the introduction of moral values and the development of independence, which is reinforced by consistent discipline. With a strong discipline, children can manage their time efficiently, develop good study habits, and achieve their maximum academic potential.Furthermore, discipline also positively impacts a child's social skills by helping them build healthy relationships, improve communication skills, and effectively manage conflicts. These abilities are essential in shaping individuals who can collaborate in groups and maintain positive relationships with others. Moreover, discipline also significantly affects a child's mental and emotional well-being. Children with discipline are more capable of managing stress, maintaining emotional balance, and building strong self-confidence. This equips them to face life's pressures with greater calmness and optimism.Thus, a child's discipline is not only a determinant factor in their life success but also a strong foundation for shaping individuals who are morally, intellectually, and emotionally sound. Therefore, it is important for parents, educators, and society as a whole to pay adequate attention to the formation of children's discipline from an early age, as an investment in their bright future.

The principles of Pancasila play an important role in shaping children's character from an early age, but a lack of understanding of them can have negative impacts, such as the increase in bullying cases and the decline in children's interest in national anthems. This research aims to inform readers about the rise of bullying cases among children as well as the harmful effects of their lack of interest in national anthems, which in turn can raise awareness of the importance of the early introduction and application of Pancasila principles. The research method used is descriptive analysis to describe the meaning of Pancasila as the basis of the state, the importance of the application of Pancasila characters for elementary school children, the meaning of bullying, the factors that cause bullying, and the cause of the large number of children who do not memorize national anthems. Based on the results of the study, a lack of understanding of Pancasila principles can cause children to lose sight of the importance of respecting differences and understanding the values of equality. The implication can lead to bullying behavior among children as well as declining their interest in national anthems. This leads to the need to increase public awareness of the important role of Pancasila in shaping children's character, preventing bullying behavior, and declining interest in national anthems.

The part of the basil plant is the leaves which have various types of benefits if studied further. With the introduction of secondary metabolites, it can be said that basil leaves contain eugenol compounds. The eugenol compound can be used as a reducing agent in the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles. The precursor used in the synthesis of TiO2 is titanium isopropoxide which has an oxidation state of +4. By utilizing the green synthesis method, TiO2 was reacted with basil leaf extract and then characterized using XRD and FTIR. The resulting particle size is 10.86 nm. And FTIR shows a wave number of 874.59 which represents the Ti-O functional group. Photocatalytic activity can take advantage of the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles by placing the nanoparticles in a methylene blue solution which has a concentration of 20 ppm and varies based on contact time and adsorbent mass. Photocatalytic activity testing obtained a degradation percentage of 79%-84% which varied based on adsorbant mass and contact time. Varying the adsorbant mass and time results in a degradation percentage that increases with each additional mass but will not increase again if it has reached the optimum phase and can reduce the degradation percentage.
