This study aims to analyze the implementation of positive discipline through an interpersonal communication approach based on the stages of children's moral development in Grade IV at SD Al Ishlah Jatidatar. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, involving three students and one Grade IV teacher as purposively selected participants. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed interactively using technique and source triangulation. The findings indicate that the teacher implements positive discipline in a dialogic, personal, and reflective manner through class agreements, restitution, logical consequences, and positive reinforcement. The success of this implementation relies on adapting interpersonal communication to the moral development stages of the students, who are transitioning from the heteronomous to the early autonomous phase. Consequently, teachers must recognize the diversity of students' moral reasoning to ensure that positive discipline is not applied uniformly.
