Psychoeducation Picture Story Books about Politeness to Improve Children's Language Politeness

Abstract

Impoliteness and politeness in language are current problems that occur in children, adolescents, and even adults. The high number of complaints about the decrease in politeness and politeness in behavior and language is a problem that must be immediately observed and resolved. The theory of spiral incivility or politeness explains that when someone receives rudeness from others, they will have the intention to be rude to others too. One effort that can be made to reduce this impoliteness and politeness is to conduct psychoeducation by providing information or knowledge to individuals or kindergarten and playgroup children through reading story books, especially about politeness and politeness in language. The results of community service measured using observation and interview methods stated that children's stories can also improve children's politeness and politeness in language, especially when taught in early childhood. The implementation of this service is expected to be a guide in activities and programs for learning to improve polite language and behavior in children.
