Abstract

Bullying behavior at the elementary school level is still frequently encountered and continues to hurt children's emotional and social development. Children aged 8 to 9 years old, such as third-grade students, are still in a stage of emotional development that is not yet fully stable and are learning to recognize and manage their feelings. Therefore, proper guidance and education are essential to help them gain a basic understanding and the necessary social skills. This psychoeducational activity was conducted on June 20, 2025, in the third-grade class at SDN Kalasan Baru to help students recognize various forms of bullying, understand its impact, and learn how to respond in a healthy, assertive way. The methods used included storytelling, watching educational videos, casual discussions, role-playing, and writing positive messages to friends. The results of this activity showed improved understanding of bullying, increased empathy, and greater confidence in expressing their feelings and in helping peers who were being bullied. This activity demonstrates that psychoeducation can be an effective preventive measure in creating a safe school environment that supports children's social development.
