This study aims to analyze the dynamics of social interactions between early childhood and elementary school children and their implications for the development of early childhood morality. The phenomenon of cross-age interactions in play environments demonstrates a mutually influential process that has the potential to shape children's moral behavior in both positive and negative ways. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design in a natural setting. The research subjects included early childhood, elementary school children, parents, and teachers. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.
The results indicate that the dynamics of social interactions include associative forms such as cooperation and assimilation, as well as disassociative forms such as conflict and controversy. These interactions have implications for the development of early childhood morality, both in positive forms such as obedience, honesty, responsibility, discipline, and independence, as well as negative behaviors such as low self-control and aggressive tendencies. These findings confirm that cross-age social interactions are a significant contextual factor in the development of early childhood morality and therefore require support from parents and educators.
