This study aimed to describe the environment created by parents for their children and its effects on academic performance and character qualities. Utilizing a survey methodology, data were collected through direct and indirect observations and analyzed qualitatively. The research subjects comprised two children from the same family. The findings revealed that the parents created an environment to engage the children in arts and physical exercise. They provided various tools such as musical instruments, laptops, smartphones, bikes, paper and coloring pencils, building blocks, toys, puzzles, and books to facilitate activities like singing, playing, reading, typing, writing, and creating. Although the language setting of these tools was in English, parents communicated with the children in Indonesian. The effects of this environment were evident in the children’s development of characteristics such as resilience, creativity, responsibility, and self-regulated learning. These traits, fostered by the environment, subsequently contributed to the children’s enjoyment and success in academic, social, language, and artistic performances.
