Abstract

One of the problems experienced by young children is tantrums. If a tantrum cannot be overcome, it can harm the child and the people around him. The child cannot control his emotions and faces problems in his environment. This research aims to analyze parents' causes and efforts in dealing with early childhood tantrums. This research is a mixed method. The research subjects were children who experienced tantrums and their parents. Data was collected by conducting surveys, interviews with parents, and observations. Data collection instrument using questionnaires. Quantitative data analysis uses percentage scores, while qualitative data analysis uses the data analysis model, according to Milles and Huberman. The research results show that the tantrums experienced by children are crying loudly, screaming/shouting, throwing or slamming things, hitting, and throwing tantrums. The causes of children having tantrums are unfulfilled desires, boredom, fighting over toys, parents pampering/protecting children too much, being bullied, or fighting with friends or relatives. Meanwhile, the efforts made by parents to deal with tantrums in children are diverting the child's attention, whispering to the children, hugging the child, letting the child calm down, recognizing the child's habits, giving the child an understanding of the level of intensity of anger; and, do not spoil children.

Abstract

Motor development is an essential aspect of early childhood education because it supports children’s learning readiness as well as their overall physical, cognitive, and social development. However, in many early childhood learning practices, motor stimulation has not been optimally implemented, as instructional activities tend to focus more on academic achievement. This condition highlights the need for learning models that are capable of integrating learning activities with active motor stimulation. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on early childhood motor development. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving children aged 5–6 years who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected using a motor development checklist instrument that included indicators of both fine and gross motor skills. Data analysis was conducted through statistical prerequisite tests and an independent sample t-test to examine the effect of the implemented learning model. The results indicate that children’s motor development in the group that participated in learning using the Project-Based Learning model was higher than that of children who participated in conventional learning. Improvements in motor skills were reflected in children’s involvement in various project activities that required movement coordination and the active use of tools. These findings suggest that the Project-Based Learning model is effective in stimulating early childhood motor development and can serve as an alternative instructional strategy to support holistic child development.
