This study aims to examine the use of storytelling techniques in guidance and counseling services for early childhood through a library research approach. The background of this study is based on the presence of various socio-emotional problems in early childhood, such as difficulties in emotional regulation, low empathy, and limited social interaction skills. In addition, guidance and counseling services for young children require approaches that align with their developmental characteristics, including the use of concrete and engaging techniques such as storytelling. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research design. Data were collected from various sources, including reputable academic journals, books, and relevant documents. The data were analyzed using content analysis by reviewing, comparing, and synthesizing findings from previous studies. The results indicate that storytelling plays a significant role in supporting children's socio-emotional development, language skills, and self-regulation. Furthermore, storytelling is effective as a therapeutic medium that helps children express their emotions and cope with psychological challenges indirectly. In conclusion, storytelling can serve as a relevant and effective technique in early childhood guidance and counseling services. This study is expected to provide practical insights for educators in developing more appropriate and effective counseling approaches.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh kegiatan eksplorasi alam terhadap kemampuan observasi anak usia dini. Kemampuan observasi merupakan salah satu aspek kognitif penting yang berkembang melalui interaksi langsung dengan lingkungan, terutama pada tahap sensorimotor dan praoperasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain eksperimen. Subjek penelitian dibagi ke dalam kelompok eksperimen yang mengikuti kegiatan eksplorasi alam dan kelompok kontrol yang mengikuti pembelajaran konvensional. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui instrumen observasi terstruktur yang diberikan pada tahap pretest dan posttest. Data dianalisis secara statistik untuk melihat perbedaan dan peningkatan kemampuan observasi anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa anak pada kelompok eksperimen mengalami peningkatan kemampuan observasi yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok kontrol. Kegiatan eksplorasi alam terbukti mampu meningkatkan kemampuan anak dalam memperhatikan, mengidentifikasi, dan mengungkapkan hasil pengamatan secara sederhana. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa eksplorasi alam merupakan strategi pembelajaran yang efektif dan sesuai dengan karakteristik perkembangan anak usia dini.

This study aims to describe the implementation of queue-based learning as an effort to strengthen
emotional regulation in early childhood. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive
design. The subjects were children aged 4–6 years in an early childhood education setting, with teachers
serving as supporting informants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and
documentation. Data analysis used an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and
conclusion drawing, with data validity ensured through source and technique triangulation. The results
showed that initially, children demonstrated limited emotional regulation skills, characterized by
impatience, emotional outbursts, and difficulty waiting for their turn. After consistent implementation of
queuing activities, there was a noticeable improvement in children’s emotional regulation, including
increased ability to wait calmly, follow rules, and reduce impulsive behavior. Queuing activities also
facilitated the internalization of social values such as discipline, patience, and respect for others. These
findings indicate that queue-based learning can serve as an effective strategy to develop emotional
regulation in early childhood through direct social experiences. This study implies that simple daily
activities can be optimized as meaningful tools for social-emotional learning in early childhood education.
