Abstract

For some reasons, independence is important for children. First, it can make them more responsible in fulfilling their life needs; furthermore, it can grow their self-confidence. Independence is one of the characters that must be instilled from an early age to children, because it will have an impact until they grow up. The development of childrens independence cannot be done instantly; to achieve this requires hard work by parents, especially mothers. In reality there is still negative perception in public regarding working mothers, albeit their ability to educate their children to be independent regardless their limited time. This study was conducted because of inadequate research related to the positive impact of working mothers on early childrens independence. This study is aimed to find out independence applied to children in the daily life by mothers working as farm workers. Hopefully the results of this study can provide information about independence of early children nurtured by working mothers; and steps that need to be taken by working mothers to shape their childrens independence.
