Metode Pembelajaran Demonstrasi untuk Menguatkan Atensi Belajar Anak Usia Dini Penyandang ADHD
The condition of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder is characterized by difficulties in concentrating attention, impulsive behavior, and excessive activity, thus requiring a learning approach that suits the child’s characteristics. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method to obtain an in depth picture of the process of applying the demonstration method and its influence on increasing the child›s focus. Data collection techniques include direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques are conducted through data reduction, data display, and verification. The research results show that the application of the demonstration method begins with systematic planning, including setting learning objectives, selecting materials, providing props according to the theme, determining the duration of activities, and identifying supporting and inhibiting factors. The implementation stage is carried out through delivering a brief explanation, step-by-step demonstration, question-and-answer session, and direct practice by the child. Furthermore, the evaluation stage is conducted through behavioral observation and daily recording of the child›s development to assess the increase in their attentio and engagement during the learning process. This study recommends that teachers and school principals continuously improve their competence in organizing inclusive education through formal training or self-learning based on digital media. With the proper application of the demonstration method, it is hoped that children with ADHD can be more focused and actively involved in the learning process.

The implication of this research is to strengthen Articulate Storyline as a learning medium capable of transforming conventional teaching into more interactive and student centered learning.
Optimalisasi Sex Education Generasi Alpha melalui Pemberdayaan Posyandu untuk Pencegahan Kekerasan Seksual anak
The rapid development of digital technology in Generation Alpha has led to easier access to information while also increasing the risk of exposure to inappropriate content, including understanding early childhood sexuality. The lack of parental literacy and the belief that sex education is a taboo topic make children vulnerable to sexual violence. This community service activity aims to optimize the role of Posyandu as a family-based sex education media in efforts to prevent sexual violence against children. The method used is the Participatory Action Program thru interactive socialization with parents at Posyandu Pucangan, Kartasura, with stages of pretest, material presentation, discussion, and posttest. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in parents' understanding and awareness of the concept of body safety, touch boundaries, and the importance of open communication with children. In addition, there has been a shift in perception from viewing it as taboo to recognizing it as an essential educational need in child protection. Thus, optimizing Posyandu as a center for sex education can become an effective preventive strategy in reducing the risk of sexual violence against children from an early age.

This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Yanbu’a method is carried out systematically through the stages of planning, implementation, and evaluation. The planning stage involves identifying learning needs, learning methods and media, as well as the initial behavior and characteristics of the child. The implementation stage includes opening, core activities, and closing. The evaluation stage uses formative evaluation conducted directly by observing students on a daily basis. In conclusion, the Yanbu’a method can be an effective alternative for learning to improve the ability to read Hijaiyah letters in early childhood if supported by a conducive learning environment. Based on these findings, it is suggested that institutions continue to develop the ability of early childhood to read Hijaiyah letters with varied learning methods so that children do not easily get bored and are more focused during learning.
