Parenting Patterns in Gender Responsive Education for Early Childhood

Abstract

Gender-responsive education for young children is still poorly understood by parents. This issue is often considered trivial, but it significantly impacts the development of young children. In the community, parents tend to prioritize parenting styles focused on providing sufficient material resources, schooling, and healthcare. This means that parents are unaware of the effects and simple causes of the lack of gender-responsive education. To address this problem, the outreach team organized a seminar in the form of a discussion and approach aimed at parents whose children attend Ra Al-Ikhlas Konggo School. The goal was to enhance parents' understanding, especially mothers, regarding gender-responsive education for young children.The outreach method involved socializing with parents on the topic of gender-responsive education for early childhood. As a result of this initiative, parents' understanding of gender-responsive education improved through the presentation of the material by the outreach team.
