This research is motivated by the social-emotional ability (self-awareness) of 4-5 year old children in PAUD Ibnu Abbas, Cianjur Regency, which is still relatively low because in the learning process it is still rare to use innovative methods. So that the demonstration method applied is expected to be able to improve children's social-emotional skills (self-awareness). This research is a type of Classroom Action Research (PTK) in increasing children's self-awareness behavior through a routine habituation method in the Ibnu Abbas PAUD Institution Unit, Cianjur district, which aims to obtain changes in student behavior in increasing students' independence during learning at school. The research design used is the Kemmis and Mc. Taggart model design which contains four steps in one cycle including planning, implementation, observation and reflection.
