This research aims to examine the impact of Broken Home family conditions on the psychological development of early childhood. The subject of the study was a 7-year-old child with the initials MS, who was raised by her grandmother due to parental divorce, while the mother had to work to earn a living. The research was conducted at TKQ Anak Cerdas Islami using a descriptive qualitative approach through a case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that MS experienced obstacles in her psychological development, particularly in the socio-emotional aspect, such as difficulties in expressing emotions, low self-confidence, and a tendency to withdraw from social interactions. However, the presence of a consistent substitute figure (the grandmother) along with the support from teachers and the school environment significantly contributed to the child’s psychological recovery. The child gradually showed positive development through more open interactions and more stable emotional responses.This study concludes that although children from Broken Home families are at risk of experiencing psychological developmental challenges, with appropriate support from substitute figures and a caring school environment, children still have the opportunity to develop optimally.
