Meningkatkan Rasa Percaya Diri pada Anak Usia Dini yang Terlambat Bicara

Abstract

Speech delays in children can affect their social and emotional development, so it is important to provide the right support to increase their self-confidence. This article aims to identify factors that influence the self-confidence of young children who are late in speaking, as well as providing several strategies that can be used to increase their self-confidence. The method used is a case study by collecting and analyzing existing sources at the Imam Muslim IT Kindergarten, Tanjungsari district. The results of the research show that the factors that influence the self-confidence of young children who are late in speaking include the family environment, school environment, peers and themselves. Some strategies that can be used to increase their self-confidence include providing opportunities to solve problems on their own, providing choices and decisions, encouraging them to try new things, teaching discipline and responsibility, and being a good example. It is hoped that this article will provide inspiration for other researchers interested in this topic.
