Abstrak

From the past until now, many parents feel confused and difficult in shaping positive behavior in
children. Parents also often feel unable to understand their children's behavior that always tests their
patience, so it is not uncommon for parents to become angry and apply punishment to children. This
has an impact on the formation of children's perceptions that become negative towards parents. The
child will feel that he is not understood, causing him to behave negatively such as lying, not doing his
responsibilities at home, and others. One of the efforts that can be made to improve children's
positive behavior is for parents to apply effective communication to children in interaction. With this
Community Service Activity, it is hoped that it can provide new understanding, knowledge and skills
for parents in implementing interpersonal communication with children. Therefore, a warm
relationship between parents and children can be established, so that it is followed by positive
behavior in children that will also increase. Activities are carried out using the counseling method,
namely interpersonal by providing understanding and knowledge related to interpersonal
communication so that it becomes a new skill that parents will learn in applying communication when
interacting with children. The results of this activity show that parents gain new understanding,
knowledge and skills related to applying interpersonal communication when interacting with
children. In addition, parents realize that the communication applied so far with children is not
appropriate, causing frequent conflicts and having an impact on children's negative behavior.
