Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of parents in shaping children's positive discipline during online learning at PAUD Cerdas Ceria Mandailing Natal. The focus of the problem is on three things, namely the role of parents, obstacles and solutions. This study uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The research informants consisted of 15 parents, with different educational backgrounds and children aged 5-6 years. The results of the study show that the role of parents in shaping children's positive discipline in online learning is realized by; make simple rules; get used to an orderly life; and set an example. In this effort, there are obstacles, namely; limited time accompanying children, and difficulty changing children's bad habits. The solution to face these obstacles is to share time between parents in forming positive discipline for children, giving rewards to children who can implement the rules that have been made, and establishing communication with teachers so that cooperation is established in forming positive discipline for children both in the family environment and in the school environment.
