Abstrak

Education plays a crucial role in shaping children’s character and moral values from an early age. From the perspective of Islamic Religious Education, the development of moral values is achieved through consistent practice, including instilling proper manners in speech among elementary school children. However, in practice, there are still children who speak in an impolite manner due to a lack of consistency in these practices, peer influence, and the use of gadgets. Therefore, this study aims to identify the forms of instilling polite speech habits in elementary school-aged children and to analyze the consistency of parents’ roles along with the challenges they face from the perspective of Islamic Religious Education. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The study participants consisted of 9 parents with elementary school-aged children. Data collection was conducted through observation and interviews using Google Forms. The data were analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions, and verification. The results of the study indicate that parents instill polite speech through advice, gentle reprimands, setting a good example, and consistently enforcing family rules. These practices help children become accustomed to speaking politely in their daily lives. However, in maintaining this consistency, parents still face various challenges, such as the influence of children’s emotions, peers, gadget use, and parents’ own unconscious display of inappropriate behavior. From the perspective of Islamic Religious Education, instilling polite speech is part of character formation through habit formation (ta’dib) and setting a good example (uswah hasanah).
