Research and best practices will be reviewed to show how schools can create an environment conducive to the development of positive character in elementary school children, such as honesty, responsibility, respect, and cooperation. The main objective of this abstract is to provide a comprehensive overview of effective strategies in improving character education in elementary school children, which will ultimately shape a young generation with noble character and ready to face future challenges. Character education is a process of applying moral and religious values ​​to students through knowledge, the application of these values ​​​​to oneself, family, fellow friends, to education and the surrounding environment and God Almighty. The social development of elementary school children has increased, from initially only socializing with family at home, then gradually getting to know the people around them. Children at this age have also known the digital lifestyle, both from home, friends, school and the surrounding environment. The digital era not only has positive impacts, but also negative impacts, this is where our role as parents, educators and adults guide and supervise children to live it well, correctly, and positively benefit the child himself.
