Public Speaking Training Strategies for Enhancing the Self-Confidence of Young Children

This research aims to identify strategies for public speaking training in early childhood through the roles of parents, teachers, and the PAUD environment. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with parents and teachers, supported by activity documentation. The results of the study show that a supportive parenting style, active parental involvement in accompanying children, and good communication between home and school are important factors in building children's self-confidence. Strategi guru yang menekankan pada proses dan memberi ruang bagi anak untuk tampil sebisanya tanpa tekanan turut menciptakan suasana belajar yang aman dan menyenangkan. Activities in early childhood education (PAUD) such as storytelling, picture reading, and sharing experiences become the main means of developing children's speaking skills. Selain itu, media komunikasi seperti WhatsApp dan buku penghubung digunakan secara efektif untuk menyelaraskan peran guru dan orang tua. This research concludes that public speaking training for early childhood runs optimally when supported by strong synergy between families and educational institutions with a contextual and sustainable approach.
