“…These are showing respect for others, paying attention to children's books, toys, and entertainment, recognizing and respecting differences in the family and learning other cultures and traditions with children. Teaching children to be able to respect others is one of the most important values that needs to be taught in early childhood (Schweitzer and Sulzer-Azaroff, 1988;Heller and Hawkins, 1994;Godwin, et al, 2001;Avery, 2002;Brenick et al, 2019). Parents teach it by always making their children respect others.…”

This study aims to discover a pattern of the transformation of tolerance values from parents to early childhood. The tolerance value in this day and age experiences some problems in the context of nationality. This can be seen from some parts of the area in Indonesia. For instance, in the traditional village of Cigugur, a life based on tolerance is experienced in the community. This study focused on the Cigugur community’s pattern of applying tolerance values in family and community life. This study uses a qualitative method to undertake the study. Observations and in-depth interviews were used to carry out the data collection, and then it was verified and validated through four stages: member check, audit trial, triangulation, and expert opinion. It can be concluded that the pattern of the transformation of tolerance values from parents to early childhood could be transformed through some stages; 1) making sense of kinship as an adhesive between followers of different religions, 2) conveying religious teachings towards differences, not to be contested but to be respected and admired, 3) avoiding the content of particular political interests, 4) having a sense compassion for each other, and 5) having tepo seliro (respect) for each other.

“…Following from this idea, the level of intergroup contact in Jewish-American and non-Arab/non-Jewish American adolescents predicted the levels of acceptance of peer exclusion (Brenick & Killen, 2014). Similarly, Brenick et al (2019) found that an intervention based on intergroup contact was effective in encouraging Palestinian-Israeli and Jewish-Israeli youth to evaluate exclusion of out-group members as wrong.…”

This study focuses on Saudi mothers’ and their children’s judgments and reasoning about exclusion based on religion. Sixty Saudi children and their mothers residing in Saudi Arabia and 58 Saudi children and their mothers residing in the United Kingdom were interviewed. They were read vignettes depicting episodes of exclusion based on the targets’ religion ordered by peers or a father. Participants were asked to judge the acceptability of exclusion and justify their judgments. Both groups rated the religious-based exclusion of children from peer interactions as unacceptable. Saudi children and mothers residing in the UK were less accepting of exclusion than were children and mothers residing in Saudi Arabia. In addition, children and mothers residing in the UK were more likely to evaluate exclusion as a moral issue and less likely as a social conventional issue than were children and mothers residing in Saudi Arabia. Mothers in the UK were also less likely to invoke psychological reasons than were mothers in Saudi Arabia. Children’s judgments about exclusion were predicted by mothers’ judgments about exclusion. In addition, the number of times children used moral or social conventional reasons across the vignettes was positively correlated with mothers’ use of these categories. The findings, which support the Social Reasoning Development model, are discussed in relation to how mothers and immersion in socio-cultural contexts are related to children’s judgments and reasoning about social exclusion.

“…Both programs were effective in reduce ethnic stereotypic attitudes held by Jewish children towards Arab. Finally, Brenick et al (2019) evaluated the effectiveness of two prejudice reducing interventions among 11-year-old Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli children. One intervention was skills-based, and focused on practicing specific skills related to developing non-judgmental attitudes, cognitive and emotional empathy, and compassion for self and others.…”

This paper presents an analysis of the ethno-political socialization of young children in the context of intractable conflict, drawing on the case of Israeli society. The analysis is based on the integrative developmental-contextual theory (IDCT), which proposes that in the context of intractable conflict, from a very early age onward, in-group members acquire a socio-psychological repertoire that consists of narratives, beliefs, attitudes, and emotions related to the conflict and to the rival group. IDCT highlights three central components that dictate the nature of this socio-psychological repertoire: children's normative developmental trajectory, the context in which the development takes place, and the ethno-political socialization that is performed by societal agents. We discuss the interaction between these components in socializing children's sociopsychological repertoire, and ways to change the course of socialization in the context of intractable conflict towards peace-oriented socialization.
