Abstract


ENGLISH: This study aims to examine the role of discipline in enhancing social-emotional development in early childhood. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which analyzes various articles and journals related to the discipline of social-emotional development in young children. The findings suggest that consistent, democratic discipline, grounded in role modeling and daily routines, has a positive impact on children's social-emotional development. Additionally, good collaboration between parents and teachers is a crucial factor in the successful instillation of discipline. The conclusion reveals that instilling discipline from an early age provides a strong foundation for shaping children's social-emotional development, supporting their optimal growth and well-being. The implications of this study highlight the importance of applying appropriate discipline in family and early childhood education environments to promote healthy social-emotional development in children.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa disiplin yang diterapkan secara konsisten, demokratis, berbasis keteladanan, dan rutinitas harian berkontribusi positif terhadap perkembangan sosial emosional anak. Selain itu, kolaborasi yang baik antara orang tua dan guru juga menjadi faktor penting dalam keberhasilan penanaman disiplin.
