A. Introduction
Islamic education is the process of preparing humans to live perfectly and happily, loving their homeland, being physically strong, perfect in character (morals), regular in mind, smooth in feelings, proficient in their work, and sweet in speech, both orally and in writing 1 . Psychology of Communication in Islamic educational activities plays an important role to express intent with the communicant. Personnel in internal education, both educators or education staff, and students, of course, interact. The communication process that is not based on psychology, what will happen in life is disharmony or incompatibility. If the psychology of communication does not go well, it can hinder an educational organization wheel. 2 .
Information openness in today's digital era allows a variety of information to be easily accessed by everyone, including children who do not yet have sufficient skills to sort through information properly. This has a negative influence on the development of children in the form of behavioral deviations, namely the presence of children who like to hit friends, are lazy, lie, are selfish, and so on. Therefore, it is proper for educators and parents to try to build children's character from an early age which aims to instill religious, moral, and ethical values that apply in their environment.
Witnessing that fact and being inspired by previous research, namely that religion can be a driving force in building spiritual, moral, social, and cultural aspects through non-curricular learning involving parents and teachers who act as role models and as mentors for students (Thanissaro, 2010: 175-187).
Religion provides knowledge about good and bad and the belief that there is a God who has the power to regulate human life. In this regard, the researcher seeks to obtain an overview that Islam can be a factor or the main basis in order to build children's character through character education in schools. Education must also contribute to knowledge about how to influence and control bad and evil natures through character education from an early age which is a significant contribution to character education.
The character crisis that occurred in the United States was caused by an inappropriate understanding of the basic concepts of character, a discrepancy between the character built and basic human values, and excessive government intervention in children's education (Ryan, 2013:145). ). Children's education is carried out by the United States government and the Russian government in providing educational services for low-income families, in fact, emphasizing the provision of health services rather than character education (Glanzer, 2003: 304).
The two studies conclude that the education that has been running so far has not paid much attention to the character education of children.
Children have a world of their own. It is characterized by a lot of movements, is full of enthusiasm, likes to play at any place and time, does not get tired easily, and gets bored quickly. Children have great curiosity and always want to try things that they think are new. Children live and think about the present so that they do not think about the distant past or the unknown future. Therefore, parents should be able to make the reality of the present a starting point and learning method for children. The development of a child's character is influenced by the family's treatment of him. A person's character is formed from an early age, in this case, the role of the family is certainly very influential. The family is the smallest social group in society that has a socialization process to be able to understand and appreciate the prevailing culture in society. Education in the family is very important and is the main pillar of the character building of a child. Mandatory education is owned not only by urban communities but also by rural communities. A person who has a higher level of education tends to be more respected. The quality of a person is seen in how he can place himself in various situations.
Quality Indonesian people will only be born from quality teenagers, quality teenagers will only grow from quality children. The family as the smallest social institution has an important role in the formation of individual character. Family becomes so important because it is through this family that a person's life is formed.
As the smallest social institution, the family is a miniature complex society, because starting from the family a child experiences a process of socialization.
In a family, a child learns to socialize, understand, appreciate and feel all aspects of life that are reflected in culture. This can be used as a framework along with the times, moral education in the family begins to fade. The current globalization attacks all aspects of social life, not only in urban communities but also in rural communities. Thus, it cannot be denied that the role of the family is very large as a determinant of the moral formation of humans who are born.

Religious Education
Wherever you are, religious education is important to introduce. So that they know God, how to worship and have faith must be instilled from childhood.
The earlier you instill this in a child, the stronger their faith will be, especially when they have experienced puberty later.

Habits from Small
You must know that children who have been educated since childhood with good habits, hen they grow up they will get used to this good education. If indeed they make a mistake, then the child will stop and try not to repeat it.
For example, when eating with the right hand, praying, speaking politely and slowly, and sitting regularly. Little things like this will affect their manners when they grow up.

Children are Good Imitators
You have to understand that children are master imitators. When you educate children from an early age, your child will indirectly see your attitude and behavior back. Because children are very easy to learn and imitate. What they see will be imitated without knowing good or bad.

Not Indulging
Every parent wants to pamper their child. Children are precious treasures and whatever they want and make them happy can make you happy.
However, a child who can only whine and ask will become a weak child, quickly despairing, and selfish. Try not to always give them toys or what they want. It's sad to see them cry, but you'll know that it's good for the kids 6. Do Small Things Did you know that small things for you are not necessarily small for them. Therefore, the habit of doing small things from an early age will have an impact on the child for a long time until he becomes a teenager. These include shaking hands, kissing hands, and praying.

Sharing is Important
Children should get used to sharing, not asking. Because children are accustomed to sharing, then they will become generous people, social, and many friends. While children who are used to asking, will make them stingy and do not respect others.

Say Wrong If It Is Wrong
Did you know that by defending the wrong child you are deliberately turning the child into a coward? because this attitude will make them not "tough" children, but "losers". Of course, you must feel sad when you hear other people say bad things about your child.

Sustainable
Has your child growing up? or you feel that he already quite understands what you teach. So you just stop educating and instilling character in them? the answer is of course wrong. Where educating children must be sustainable until they are adults.
When you decide to become a parent, then carry out those responsibilities and don't let your child escape supervision.

Instill in All Children
Character education must apply to all. No favoritism between children. This problem usually arises in parents who have more than two children. This happens so that all children develop their character equally, even though the level of challenge is different.

D. Closing
The family is the smallest social system in which it can consist of father, mother, and children, each of whom has a role. Children have critical thinking about many things starting when they begin to recognize the language. The questions that come out of the mouth of a child should be answered with honest answers and can satisfy the child's heart. Moral education and honesty for a child start from the family, through parents. This can shape the character of children in the future. Parents are role models for their children, and parents should be able to be good examples for their children.
Parents must also be open to the development of the times and today's technology.
Children have critical thinking about something new. If parents do not open themselves up to existing developments, later they will reap difficulties in answering questions from children. In the end, it turns out to be a lie and indirectly instills in children.
