<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the observation that several children exhibit impatience. The purpose of this study is to examine the steps of implementing the storytelling method, the ways to instill the value of patience from the story of Prophet Ayyub a.s., and the level of patience in early childhood after the teacher applies this method at Dharma Bakti Tarantang Kindergarten. This study uses descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Data were collected from 2 teachers and 15 students through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.The results indicate that the steps of implementing the storytelling method include selecting the story, praying before telling, arranging the sitting and book position, displaying the book title, narrating the story with appropriate voice intonation, closing the story, and conducting a question-and-answer session. The method instills patience in several aspects: facing challenges (queuing when entering and leaving class), praying and seeking help (before and after activities), mental resilience (not getting angry while completing tasks), waiting during the healing process (taking turns washing and wiping hands), and appreciating Allah’s assistance (waiting for their turn to answer the teacher’s questions).The value of patience after the implementation of storytelling shows significant improvement. On the indicator of queuing when entering and leaving class, 12 children (80%) developed very well (BSB); praying before and after activities, 14 children (93%) BSB; not getting angry during assignments, 11 children (73%) BSB; waiting turns to wash and wipe hands, 12 children (80%) BSB; and waiting turns to answer questions when going home, 11 children (73%) BSB. This demonstrates that storytelling effectively fosters patience in early childhood.]]>
