Character-based education, an offshoot of government in order to save the nation by creating the next generation in the future who has good character. Almost at all levels of education in Indonesia is currently busy-hectic discuss how to apply character education at any academic or non academic activities. I think character education is not sufficiently implemented in schools or in institutions of formal education alone, it would be more effective if the character education were also introduced early on in the family environment.
From my experience as a child, on this occasion I will share tips for those of you who want to educate children in the family environment character. Maybe some of you know a play station game is quite famous in the era of 2000, a game that was released by the company Natsume.inc game, the game is designed to pamper all ages by playing a genre of life, the game is precisely called Harvest Moon.
I do not think too much if I thought that the game harvest moon can be used as media in educating the child characters. Why is that? in this game short a player is required to administer an estate large enough, not only farming, but there are also players dituntuk for livestock, how to care for the garden, taking care of animals, socializing with neighbors, and others.
When children are playing this game will indirectly teach children character. For example, in this game if you want the money required to diligently work to care for plants watered every day and so forth, then the child characters (the player) will be educated as well as stored in the mindset that if you want money to be diligent work. In addition to working diligently prosecuted caring for livestock and taking care of plants in order to earn a living, in this game are also required to be good at set times, and also demanded good at socializing with local people. Lots of not a few things that could be useful in educating the child characters?
Then I’m sure once the game using the media to educate the child’s character is very effective because the game in the mindset of children is a fun and easy to remember are also easy to understand. However, although the harvest moon has many benefits, parents should also keep an eye on the kids, not to harvest moon because of your child’s achievement in school decreased.
