This study examines the parenting principles from Pamela Druckerman’s Bringing Up Bébé within the framework of Islamic education, with a focus on character building in early childhood. By employing a qualitative and descriptive-analytic approach, the research compares key parenting practices such as discipline, self-control, independence, and communication, highlighting their alignment with Islamic values. The findings demonstrate significant parallels between French parenting techniques and Islamic teachings, particularly in fostering discipline and respect.
