**Abstract**

The family is the most important informal institution in the formation of children's morals with Islamic religious education. The position of the child as a mandate from God then formed a three-dimensional relationship with parents as the center. The relationship of children who still need guidance with God through parents and the relationship of children with parents under God's guidance. But on the other hand, the family can also be a killing field for the development of a child's soul if the parents wrongly educate them. The existence of this post truth in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 makes parents control a lot of children's activities, especially in the use of social media. Because the family is the only educational institution that is able to carry out the way of religious education through good example and habituation from parents to their children.

### **1. Introduction**

Every human being must have the nature of the desire to produce an item on a large scale. Regardless of the surrounding environment. In this case, a radical nature often emerges to obtain large profits. This radically major change to produce goods was called the "Industrial Revolution". Along with the times, the industrial revolution is classified into several phases, including: Industrial Revolution 1.0, Industrial Revolution 2.0, Industrial Revolution 3.0 and Industrial Revolution 4.0 [1].

The Industrial Revolution 1.0 was marked by the steam engine which was much stronger, more flexible, and more durable. This is because the power of humans and nature cannot produce an item on a large scale and tends to be expensive. The Industrial Revolution 2.0 was marked by the emergence of factories that use electric power. The Industrial Revolution 3.0 was marked by the emergence of computers and robots that replaced the role of humans in producing goods. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 was marked by the emergence of smartphones and the internet [2].

These two factors have a major influence on human behavior today, because humans today cannot be separated from the use of smartphones. In the industrial revolution 4.0, smartphones are the most important instrument because smartphones have become human hands in the current era. This is evidenced by the dependence of

humans on smartphones [3]. This dependence has a negative impact on the physical and psychological aspects of humans. One example is introverted behavior (closed) to the outside world. In addition, using a smartphone for a long time can also interfere with health, one of which is eye health.

It is conceivable if this negative impact has occurred to children. Children are a golden phase in human life at this stage, children's personalities begin to form. Children will follow what is seen and what is taught by the people around them [4]. For example, we can see one case where children tend to prefer playing online games rather than playing traditional games with their friends. The personality of the child in this case starts from the parenting pattern of parents who tend to give freedom to their children without being limited. Even though this personality has a negative impact on the child's psyche [5]. Because it will form an introverted personality (closed). In the second case, we see that there are children who tend to be lazy, this is due to the parenting pattern of parents who do not care about their children, for example, a child who asks his parents for assignments, but his parents even give him a smartphone to use their children do the work, not teach their children. This makes the child lazy personality. Because children prioritize the instant way rather than the process.

In the third case, there is a child who tends to be violent. This is due to what children see when watching TV or playing online games. Basically, children will do or imitate something they see without understanding the meaning of what they see. Therefore, parental supervision is needed in accompanying the child. In the fourth case, we find many children who wear glasses [6]. This is caused by using a smartphone or watching television for a long time and at a distance that is too close. This is what causes children to tend to wear glasses.

From the four examples above, it can be concluded that the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, in this case smartphones, television, and the internet, has penetrated the world of children. If this continues, it is possible that children will have bad personalities, and declining health [7]. One of the causes of the negative impact of smartphones, television, and the internet is parenting. There are several types of parenting from parents Parenting patterns are divided into 4, namely authoritarian, permissive, situational and democratic. Below will be described as follows:

a.Authoritarian parenting style

Authoritarian parenting is a parenting style where parents have the right and authority to regulate their children strictly. The characteristics of this parenting pattern are emphasizing all the rules, parents must be obeyed by children, parents act arbitrarily, without being able to be controlled by children [8]. Children must obey and should not argue with what the parents ordered.

b.Permissive parenting

Permissive parenting is a parenting pattern in which parents form a spoiled personality in children, because of the nature of this parenting, children centered, namely all family rules and regulations in the hands of the child. What the child does is allowed by the parents. Parents obey all the wishes of children [9]. Children tend to act arbitrarily, without parental supervision. He is free to do whatever he wants.

#### c.Situational parenting

Situational parenting is a parenting pattern where parents have the right and authority to regulate their children in a moody manner, in the sense that often the parenting pattern is not applied rigidly, meaning that parents do not apply it flexibly, flexibly and adapted to the situation and situation conditions that existed at that time.

Of the three parenting patterns above tend to form a bad personality towards children. Where for authoritarian parenting, children will tend to have a hard personality and tend to apply what they have received to the people around them, especially their playmates. For the second parenting pattern, which is permissive, children will tend to have a spoiled, consumptive, and lazy personality [10]. The third parenting pattern is situational parenting, children will tend to have an apathetic personality because parenting patterns from parents tend to be undirected.

Therefore, the best parenting style is democratic parenting. Where in this parenting pattern, the position of parents and children is balanced. However, the rules from parents are obeyed by the children. This parenting also involves the child in making a decision, this is good for forming a critical and democratic child's personality. In this parenting pattern, parents usually trust their children to do something with parental supervision. This is good for shaping the child's personality who is responsible for something he does [11]. If the child makes a mistake, the parent allows the child to find the solution on their own, accompanied by input from the parent.

From the three points above, namely the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, children's personalities, and parenting patterns have very close attachments. Where the industrial revolution era will not be limited. Therefore, parenting from parents is needed to sort out what is good and what is bad to give to their children. So that children have the personality expected by parents.

### **2. Discussion and results**

The method is generally defined as a way of doing something, while in the letter lijk sense, the word "method" comes from the Greek language consisting of "Meta" which means through and "hodos" which means way [12]. So the method is the way to go. In Arabic, the method is called *tariqah*, which means the way, or involvement in doing something. According to the term, the method is a way that regulates an ideal [13]. So it can be understood that the method means a path that must be passed to present learning materials in order to achieve teaching goals.

Educating children in the family through Islamic education is a conscious guidance from education (adults) to children who are still in the process of growing based on Islamic norms so that their personality is formed into a Muslim personality. Then what is meant by the method of educating children in Islam is the way or way that can be taken to convey educational materials or materials through Islamic education to children in the family in order to realize a Muslim personality.

In this case the author means that the method of educating children's religion in the family is the path that parents take in educating their children in the field of religious education carried out in the family environment. Among the methods in educating children in the family through Islamic education are:
