Therefore, the role of parents is needed in paying attention to all processes of child development and adjustment of children in socialization, so that children are form perspectives and self-concepts for the next stage. As a child's first madrasa, a parent must have knowledge and understanding of child parenting. Parenting given to children will have an impact on the future of a child, so parents must provide knowledge, understanding, and guidance to children to become a quality generation. Awaliyah & Rukanda. Implementation Of Parenting Program To Increase Parents Capacity In Implementing Healthy Living Behaviors For Early Childhood Based On The Rasul Judging from the situation above, the parenting program can be used as a way to improve the quality of being a parent in the family. In essence, parenting is defined as a parenting technique for parents to their children. Here parents play an important role in educating, nurturing, guiding their children so that they have a good personality following what parents want. guide their children, parents need to teach some concepts where parents must also observe various activities carried out by children. Parents must always support the activities carried out by children. Several concepts must be considered by parents, namely responding, monitoring and modeling. Informal education is an education in the family which in its implementation is influenced by the ability of parents to provide care for children, family care is the initial gate of a child's life, so a parent must need knowledge and skills, namely through parenting (Hoghughi 2004: . Based on the opinion of Augusta . 2: . said that early childhood is an individual who has a unique pattern of growth and development ranging from cognitive, physical, socialemotional, creativity, language to special communication based on the stages that must be passed by children. This development is known as the golden period, at this time children experience a sensitive period so that all growth and development will occur quickly. However, appropriate or not the growth of an individual differs depending on the development of each Parents need to provide nutritious and balanced food so that the growth and development of children go well. Success in the golden age of children is also influenced by children's basic education, where education providers at PAUD institutions are the determinants for the success of further education or are very dependent on the education system and process that is carried out. In addition to the basic learning obtained from PAUD, children also need to be taught religious education, one of which is how to live a healthy life following the teachings of Islam. In the teachings of Islam, we are commanded to always maintain the health of our servants. Regarding the importance of health, the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said which means: Two pleasures that are often forgotten by most people are health and leisure time "(HR. Al-Bukhari: At-Tirmidhi: 2304. Ibn Majah: 4. The hadith explains that this is what often happens to most people, they are deceived by free time and healthy pleasures so that these two blessings pass without benefit. So far, there are still many parents who do not understand how good parenting is in educating early childhood, especially in modern times like today, there are still many parents who apply traditional education patterns, including a healthy living culture. There are still many parents who pay little attention to this because it is considered trivial even though it is very much needed for Early Childhood. Aspects of development for Early Childhood according to the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 137 of 2013 it is stated that there are 6 categories of child growth and development, one of which is quite interesting concerning children's health problems is the physical motor aspect. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of parents in instilling a healthy living culture for early childhood based on the style of the Apostle which is carried out by parenting. THEORETICAL REVIEW Parenting Parenting education is one part of adult education, adult education is an education given specifically for adults who are in the community so that they can explore and develop their abilities and also they can increase their knowledge, skills, and professions. Another thing that will be obtained is a change in the attitudes and behavior of adults (Sudjana, 2. Furthermore, according to John W. Santrock (Akhyadi & Mulyono, 2. that parenting Awaliyah & Rukanda. Implementation Of Parenting Program To Increase Parents Capacity In Implementing Healthy Living Behaviors For Early Childhood Based On The Rasul requires interpersonal skills and has great interpersonal demands, but very little informal education regarding this task. Hoghughi (Santoso. Apsari, & Taftazani, 2. revealed that parenting includes several aspects, namely physical care, emotional care, and social care. Family The family is the first and foremost place of education for the baby which will be the most important basis in shaping the child's character to become a complete human being. (Hyoscyamina, 2. To form a character that has a good and strong soul in children, one of the things that need to be done in the family is to create a harmonious and dynamic family atmosphere through coordination and communication that is built between parents and children in two directions. The family is socially expected to be able to participate and function to create a peaceful, safe society. Happy, and also prosperous where the family is the most important and smallest social institution for children. The family has unity with the child's life relationship, starting from the biological function, affection function, socialization function, education function, recreation function, religious function, and protection function. The seven functions of the family must be able to be carried out by the family in everyday life (Setiardi. Early Childhood Education Programs Early childhood according to Bacharuddin Mustafa (Ahmad, 2. is a child aged one to five The PAUD program is a basic education level that can develop children's potential through stimulation at home (Rumsari & Nurhayati, 2. The first educational foundation for children is the family with the continuation of strengthening early childhood education which is in a sensitive period or golden age realized through the early childhood education, one of which is PAUD. PAUD is used as education in the sensitive period of children which can help the development and growth of both physically and spiritually for children which are held on formal, non-formal, and informal channels. The principles in early childhood development according to Elizabeth B. Hurlock (Ahmad, 2. are: . Development related to change. Early development becomes the most important basis compared to subsequent developments. development is the result of the process of maturation and learning. predictable child development patterns. developmental patterns have predictable important characteristics. differences in each child in some aspects of development. Periodization in developmental . have social expectations for each period of development. have risks in every area of children's development, both physically and psychologically. each child's development at different developmental periods. Apostle's Healthy Lifestyle According to Notoatmodjo (Astuti, 2. , health behavior can be interpreted as a response to stimuli that have to do with health-illness, disease, and other factors that can affect a person's health starting from the environment, drinks, food, and also health services. Health Behavior according to Soekidjo Notoatmojo . is divided into two dimensions, namely: a. Healthy behavior is a person's behavior to prevent disease by improving health.

Implementation Of Parenting Program To Increase Parents Capacity In Implementing Healthy Living Behaviors For Early Childhood Based On The Rasul hand into his ablution. so that he washes his hands three times because one of you does not know where his hand will spend the night (HR. Sunan An Nasa'. The increasing number of non-infectious diseases that appear in the community is evidence of the low attention to a healthy lifestyle. Based on the above hadith, the instructions that can be taken by Muslims are that we need to: . wash our hands with running water before eating using soap or other . Start eating by chanting the name of Allah. eat with the right hand. do not eat hot food and it is also forbidden to blow hot food. always maintain cleanliness. maintain personal and environmental health in Islam. Mental health and . social health. (Anam, 2.

In addition, we can increase our capacity as parents in caring for our children. Parenting gives the result that we have to give examples of how to live a healthy lifestyle like the apostle, starting from washing hands, eating with the right hand, praying before and after eating.
