This study aims to analyze the forms of parental interaction and its influence on the formation of children's character in Lampulung Village. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of participant observation and in-depth interviews with parents, community leaders, and religious leaders selected through purposive sampling. The data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The results showed that verbal interaction through advice, moral stories, and dialogical communication, as well as non-verbal interaction through everyday examples, together contributed significantly to the formation of children's character. Religious values such as the habit of congregational prayers and tadarus of the Qur'an, as well as local Bugis wisdom, namely siri' na pacce, sipakatau, sipakalebbi, and sipaka'inge, are the main pillars of character formation in the family environment. It was concluded that the quality of parental interaction, not just the duration of togetherness, is a determining factor in shaping the character of children who are religious, disciplined, responsible, and polite. This research has implications for the importance of parental capacity building programs in parenting based on local religious and cultural values, as well as the need for collaboration between families, schools, and village communities to create a holistic and sustainable character education ecosystem.
