Abstract

Parenting styles are influential in implementing character education for children for the first time, one of which is religious tolerance between peers. The fact is that in the field, children still lack religious tolerance among peers. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the relationship between parenting given by parents to children with the formation of children's religious tolerance. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method, namely collecting data from a natural place using a data collection technique in the form of a questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that parents have an important role in choosing and implementing good parenting in the formation of tolerance in children because tolerance is considered the most important or fundamental aspect that children must have in terms of the ability to socialize in society through a sense of volunteering to share, respect, help each other, forgive and love friends regardless of religion. Tolerance can be taught to children about living in harmony among friends regardless of religion. Recommendations that we can give to prospective parents and parents to be able to choose and apply a parenting style that can properly apply character values to children. In addition, it is necessary to be more active in expanding knowledge about parenting styles in the digital era to prevent things from happening that are not in accordance with the values in tolerance.
