- Abstract
Family is an essential factor in building children’s character because it is the first place for children to learn and know the environment and gain knowledge from parents’ messages and advice. Not all family environments have the same characteristics. This environment is influenced by the level of parents’ education and conditions in the home environment. One of them is a waste picker family included in a less prosperous family because of their economic condition. This article’s research and writing aim to describe the strategy for character building for children in waste picker families, which departs from parents’ perceptions of its parenting application. The research method used in this study is a qualitative method with a case study approach in Kampung Sumur Jakarta. Data obtained through researchers’ direct involvement in the field by using in-depth interview techniques, participatory observation, and documentation study. The data obtained were then reduced and analyzed using the triangulation technique. The results of this study are (1) parents’ perceptions of education, (2) parents’ perceptions of parenting, (3) parents’ perceptions of character building for children, and (4) forms of parenting strategies carried out by parents.
