Thus the role of the family in providing education to children is very urgent to be applied in today's society which experiences moral decadence. The concept of religious values in children developed is the values of rabbaniyah and values of insanity. The steps of family involvement in internalizing ethical values in children are carried out through the stages of value transformation, value transactions, value internalization, and transcendalization of benefits by developing aspects of knowing, doing, and being. The element of knowledge is done by giving insight to children about religious values. The point of doing is made by guiding children. The aspect of being is done by providing an example to children. The three processes are not only carried out in schools but also carried out in the family with the guidance of parents. Also, in the process develops the concept of moral (moral knowing), honest attitude (good feeling), and ethical behaviour (moral behaviour) . Keywords: family environment, internalization, Islamic values A. Introduction This research comes from anxiety and aspirations for national education. Today, the problem of the nation's moral decline is increasing. The issue of moral decadence, rape, free sex, consuming alcohol or drugs, theft, murder, robbery, and even more astounding the existence of cases of tricky and sadistic gangsters to kill their victims (Suparman, 2014; Harian Kompas, 2015; Sulton, 2016; Abdi, 2018) . Based on some of these problems as educator actors and parents have grave concerns. Several aspects have triggered this issue to occur, for example (1) Adhering to the existence of specific political perspectives that lead to religious matters is each individual's business, not a partisan issue. Therefore, humans are not obedient to their Lord, and then their lives will obey their passions. (2) Environmental pollution starts from forest fires; wastes discharged into rivers or dissolution of humans in immorality which follow their desires (Hari, 2007) . (3) Extinction of humans into the flow of the globalization era that results in someone loving the world, living extravagantly or royally, not having an attitude of empathy, greed, and spree to forget the future life (Muhaimin, 2016; Susanti, 2016) . Therefore, to obtain answers to these problems, the inculcation of religious values in schools and families becomes very important. Spiritual values are ethical values that cover the subject of worship, creed, and morals that guide someone who is manifested through daily life (Sahlan, 2010) . In addition, religious values are values that exist in a person's soul based on Divine values (Sjarkawi, 2008; Huda & Ikhwan, 2019) . Spiritual values have the aim to print the human soul to have the right attitude that is actualized in everyday life. Based on these objectives, ethical values also reinforce the goals of Islamic religious education, namely to increase one's faith, the level of student understanding, the deepening and implementation of Islamic spiritual teachings (Endang, 2010; Fadhil, 2018) . Therefore, this process will form people who believe, devoted to God, and have good morals to themselves, family and society in general (Nasution,
