Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve parents' understanding and communication skills in dealing with children's emotions in Pekubuan Village, Tanjung Pura District, Langkat Regency. Problems faced by partners include parents' low understanding of children's emotional development, ineffective communication patterns, and high levels of negative emotional behavior in children such as tantrums and aggressiveness. The implementation method uses a participatory approach through stages of socialization, education, mentoring, and evaluation. The results of the activity show a significant increase in parents' understanding (from 45% to 85%) of communication skills and a decrease in negative emotional behavior in children and provide parents with direct experience in dealing with children's emotional situations. This activity has proven effective in building positive communication patterns that support the emotional development of children in the village.

Abstract

Environmental crisis has become a lived condition that reshapes cultural imagination, ethical reasoning, and everyday language about the more-than-human world. Despite the rapid growth of ecocriticism, contemporary British drama remains comparatively underexamined, since existing work often prioritizes novels and climate fiction or focuses narrowly on theatrical performativity and environmental symbolism rather than the textual construction of eco-consciousness across multiple plays. To address this gap, this qualitative descriptive study investigates how eco-consciousness and human nature relations are articulated in three contemporary British plays, Colder Than Here by Laura Wade, Greenland by Moira Buffini et al., and Earthquakes in London by Mike Bartlett, focusing on how dramatic texts construct eco-consciousness and human–nature relations. Methodologically, the research employs qualitative close reading and systematic coding of dialogues, monologues, stage directions, and setting descriptions, guided primarily by Garrard’s ecocritical concepts and informed by Buell’s environmental criticism. The findings reveal convergent patterns across the corpus: anthropocentric ideology is normalized through everyday language that frames nature as a resource for development; ecological awareness and environmental ethics surface through characters’ moral reasoning, grief, and responsibility narratives; and human–nature interconnectedness is dramatized as an affective and social condition in which ecological loss disrupts relationships, well-being, and imagined futures. By combining comparison with close textual evidence, the study offers an original contribution to ecocriticism and contemporary drama studies, demonstrating how British theatre provides a distinctive cultural arena for articulating ecological anxiety, ethical deliberation, and sustainability discourse within the wider environmental humanities.
