<![CDATA[This research started from the fact that there were some children at the Aisyiyah Putra Bukittinggi Orphanage who were shy when communicating with the environment, especially with people they had just met, then there were some children who preferred to be alone in their room rather than hanging out with others, and also There are some children who are insecure about their status and children who are introverted. When asked, they prefer to avoid and answer briefly, so these children can be said to lack self-confidence. Researchers tried to apply group guidance to increase the self-confidence of children in the orphanage. This research aims to reduce feelings of inferiority and increase children's self-confidence. The method used in this research is pre-experiment, one group pre-test, post-test.
