Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of habituation methods in instilling religious and moral values in early childhood at RA Al-Fauzan Padangsidimpuan. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation.The results of the study showed that the habituation method was applied consistently through routine activities such as joint prayer, dhuha prayers, greetings, sharing, and maintaining cleanliness. This habituation is carried out in a fun and exemplary atmosphere from the teacher, so that children are able to internalize religious and moral values naturally. Children show positive development in terms of religious attitudes, manners, responsibility, and social concern. This study concludes that the habituation method is an effective approach in early childhood character education, and needs to be continuously developed through synergy between teachers, institutions, and parents.
