Abstract
The Indonesian nation must be built by prioritizing character development because this character building will make Indonesia a great, advanced, and glorious, dignified nation. The rapid progress and sophistication of technology now, which makes habits begin to be abandoned. Children now prefer to play gadgets and play stations rather than traditional childrens games, whereas traditional childrens games are not just games but also teach about many lessons such as practicing patience, cooperation, responsibility, tolerance, and caring among others. So it is necessary to plant characters early in early childhood, with the hope that good character can be well embedded early on. Character is not formed by learning in class, but it requires habituation. Through storytelling it is hoped that children will recognize, understand and be able to feel the values contained in the story, so good character values will be embedded in the child. The habit of telling stories or storytelling about folklore needs to be done at school, especially at home, so that communication between teachers, parents, and children can be established in instilling the character of children.

Abstract
This paper specifically focuses on the concept of inclusive-dialogic religious education that can be offered as alternative choice to cultivate tolerance and multicultural character since early age. This model is based on experience-based learning that more emphasizes on internalization and reflection to contrive mutual respect among students. As an offer how to grow inclusive attitude in kindergarten, this religious education model is appropriately inseminated into two levels, namely structural level by elaborating necessary values into syllabus and material of religious education subject and practical level by contextualizing theory into social reality through observation and visitation. To implement it, this religious education model definitely requires teacher creativity, appropriate method, and stakeholder support as well. As methodology, this paper employs Critical Discourse of Analysis (CDA) approach. In this sense, I would argue that inclusive-dialogic religious education is able to be alternative choice to prevent intolerance and exclusive paradigm since early age.

Abstract
abstract Model of Educational for Sustainable Development (ESD) Insight-Based Pre Literacy Learning Media Current environmental conditions are declining or experiencing degradation both in quality and quantity. This is in line with the increase in human activities in meeting the needs that tend to try to obtain the maximum benefit without regard to the preservation of environmental and social aspects. It is necessary to have a holistic understanding of the use of the environment in meeting human needs to always strive to create a balance between meeting needs with the preservation of the natural environment. Thus meeting the needs of the present can be met without reducing the quality and quantity for meeting the needs of future generations. ESD is a holistic approach that is not just a process of providing knowledge about sustainability or environmental issues, but, rather, the challenge of changing peoples mindsets and actions (Weber at UNESCO, 2012). This is what is meant by the mindset of thinking about Educational Sustainable Development (ESD). ESD mindset formation will be very appropriate if done from an early age because at this age a variety of growth and development begins and lasts, which will be the basis for further child development. The introduction of ESD from an early age is expected to provide understanding and build awareness of the surrounding environment from an early age, so that it will encourage the empowerment of children in interacting with the natural environment, social environment and economic environment. Pre-literacy is an important ability for children to develop the ability to interact with the natural, social and economic environment. The ability of pre-literacy for early childhood is done by preparing a literacy environment through various ways and various media that are interesting and in accordance with the principles and ways of early childhood learning. Therefore, ESD-oriented pre-literacy learning media are needed to build an ESD mindset early on through pre-literacy skills in preparing children for further education. The three pillars in ESD are packaged in a package of learning models for ESD-oriented pre-literacy series which includes: (1) Learning Media Love the Environment; (2) Economic Smart Learning Media Model; (3) Socially Smart Learning Media. Model package The learning media of ESD-oriented pre-literacy series consists of model scripts, story book media, motion media and songs, as well as ladder snake media games, which are equipped with guidelines for their use. Story book, motion and song media as well as ladder snake games are supplements for learning activities with ESD insight. The three media complement each other in building ESD-oriented pre literacy capabilities. This model is focused on children 5-6 year The development activities of this model trial have been carried out through two stages, namely conceptual testing and operational testing. The trial locations used were (1) Alam Pelopor Kindergarten in Bandung Regency, (2) PAUD Kartina Garut Regency, (3) PAUD Almarhamah, Cimahi City. Based on the trial results, the advantages of ESD-oriented pre-literacy learning media models are (1) enriching vocabulary mastery in children, (2) interesting and fun learning processes, (3) fostering positive characters related to the ability to interact with the natural, social and economic environment, (3) the availability of media for the preparation of a literacy environment in PAUD.

Abstract
A Character is an attitude that has been imprinted in a person and has become a habit in everyday life. A character can be used as a benchmark between good and bad. Goodness can be realized if instilled the values ​​of commendable characters. Conversely, it can result in badness if what is instilled is deplorable character values. Therefore, the inculcation of commendable character values ​​is highly recommended, even required to produce excellent personalities and moral mercy. The most appropriate and effective cultivation of character values ​​for early childhood is to use educational games, because the childs world is to play, and childrens play is a childs learning activity. Through educational games, children can play while learning to develop their potential and instill character values ​​in early childhood.

Abstract
Terrorism prevention is often focused on adolescents, even though it is true that the use of children in terrorist acts is a global issue. Few studies do discuss the prevention of terrorism in early childhood, a critical phase or golden age that is instrumental in the formation of a child-s character. This research is a case study that is developed based on the emergence of nursery books in Indonesia containing radical words, such as "bomb", "jihad", "bantai” (slaughter) which have been the subject for developing the Anti-Violence Movement at School policy. It is a policy analysis that aims to provide critical input for policy improvement, which is especially pertinent given the lack of existing research on the subject matter in Indonesia. The data are analysed using Bell and Stevenson (2013) framework for policy analysis, which has four analytical themes concerning the translation from policy development to enactment. Based on the analysis, it is found that terrorism prevention through early childhood education (ECE) policy in Indonesia is vague in its meaning and objectives, as well as fails to define the basic notion of “terrorism” itself. The government expects the policy to be a community-led movement, but it turns out that the implementation is still characterised by a top-down approach. At the enactment phase, ECE centres see no urgency in integrating the policy with their centres vision and mission, because they believe that the policy will not last sustainably at its operation. Surprisingly, the government does not provide any specific training for teachers, nor the budget to implement the policy.

Abstract
Science learning in early childhood is very important to develop all aspects of child development. Learning about science will encourage children to be more creative and critical, but based on our exploration study, there are some problems in science learning. The most crucial problem is the lack of teacher competence in teaching science that is appropriate to children development. Story and Science Experiment to Develop Scientific Attitude of Children is a model to solve that problem. Story in this model is a short story which describes the process of science. Science experiment is an activity doing by the children to practice the process of science. A scientific attitude can be defined as way of viewing things, a curiosity to know how and why things happen with an open mind and governed by facts. There are six scientific attitudes that are developed in this model, they are curiosity, creativity, problem solving, confidence, environmental awareness, and cooperation. This model has twenty stories and science experiments, they are written in 20 flip charts. This model was tried out on 100 Kindergarten respondents, that are divided into experiment and control group. The result of this try out showed that, this model was effective to develop scientific attitude. Based on t independent test, the t value is 12,511 with the p-value 0,000. Because of the p-value 0,000 <  (0,05), so it could be concluded that there is a significant deference of scientific attitude between experiment and control group after using Story and Science Experiment to Develop Scientific Attitude of Children Model. This model has been implemented in some Early Childhood Education Institutions in Central Java.

Abstract
This study examines how significant others perceptions and positions on the formation of childrens self-concept, and how the childs self-concept in Latimojong Village. The approach in this study uses the phenomenology approach to get a picture of communication behavior related to perception, describe according to the meaning of the subject and a thorough description based on the focus of the study while the significant others in this study are mothers and PAUD teachers. The results of research on the description of the childs self-concept based on the perception of the mother as a significant others ie mothers tend to have negative perceptions compared to positive perceptions including physical, psychological perceptions perceived by character came (fussy and spoiled), and children are more dominant having positive stimuli from peers and the media than the mother while social perception is passiritan (shy), so early children are prone to experiencing negative Pygmalion effects due to the influence of negative mothers perception as a significant other. Furthermore, the significant position of others tends to use the nickname of the reproach of children as a joke, using behavioral discipline and emotional control through promises, using instructions rather than persuasion and reactive to mistakes (labeling bingo or stupid) and less responsive to positive behavior of children. So overall the role of parents and teachers has not been significant, so the importance of nature-based approaches.
