This is most likely due to ineffective and inaccurate parenting parents, which have a negative impact on the child's personality, especially in the development of religious character. Based on this phenomenon, the aim of this study is to describe the parenting parents of the parents in relation to the child, to describe the religious character of the child, and to determine the relationship between the parenting parentsof the parents and the development of the religious character of the child.
