DEVELOPING CHILDREN’S CHARACTER THROUGH ISLAMIC GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING DEVELOPMENT IN THE FAMILY SETTING
Abstract: In line with
developments in information technology, there is the tendency of characters
such as polite, friendly, polite, religious, and like to work together (mutual
aid) to be dwindling. The opposite behaviors like rude, cruel, violent,
unlawful, hostility between the groups (ethnic, village, school, college, even
among the faculty) are becoming increasingly prominent. This phenomenon
indicates that the character of this nation is declining. This is possible
because it treats the scenes of violence and asocial behavior that appears
through the electronic media that can be viewed and copied at any time. On the
other hand, the role of family in helping the development of children’s potency
is very important because the family (father-mother) is the important place and
area in which the children were born and raised, from where children learn to
develop a conscience and emotions, and in which children learn about the
environment and interact in ways appropriate. Although the role of family is so
important, but not all families are able to perform that role well. It may be
caused by a mistake in choosing a potential husband or wife, providing for the
family, educating children, crisis, and lack of parental supervision. Looking
at the weaknesses of the above, for the idea of prevention—in packaging
development guidance and counseling –that might be done by the family in
helping develop the potential of biological, psychological, social and faith of
a child, the family can grow and develop optimally the children into individual
noble character as expected the nation, according to age level and also in line
with the will of his Creator, Allah the Almighty.
