Main Article Content

Abstract

The fostering of self-sufficiency traits should develop in childhood because this is the age of learning power and the growth of life. The teachers instill the knowledge of sufficiency, frugality, self-help, rationality, and self-discipline in the children. To develop these characteristics, there should be a process of changing old behaviors to new behaviors by giving experience or training for permanent desirable behavior. Children spend most of their time in kindergarten classrooms. Teachers are the most important people who provide activities for students, including performing daily routine activities, by fostering self-sufficiency traits in children until they grow up as good citizens.
