The Importance of Effective Communication in Building Family Harmony

Abstract

This community service activity was conducted as part of the Family Guidance and Counseling course, held in Susukan 3 Village, Margokaton, Seyegan, Sleman. The activity aimed to enhance the understanding of LPKK mothers about the importance of effective communication and proper parenting in building harmonious families. The methods used included lectures, group discussions, Q&A sessions, and the distribution of physical infographics. In the first session, participants were provided with material on "Effective Communication as the Key to Building Harmonious Families," while the second session focused on good parenting, particularly in managing tantrum behavior in children. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding of the importance of effective communication and appropriate parenting, as evidenced by their enthusiasm in discussions and the evaluation results through quizzes.
