PENGABDIAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI SEMINAR PENGUATAN PERAN IBU DALAM MENCEGAH KEKERASAN TERHADAP ANAK SEJAK DINI

Abstract

The increasing number of cases of violence against children in Indonesia, including in Jambi
Province and Batanghari Regency, demonstrates the urgency of strengthening the role of families, particularly
mothers, in non-violent parenting. This community service activity aims to increase mothers' understanding
and awareness of the importance of positive parenting from an early age by strengthening the emotional bond
between mother and child. The implementation method was a hybrid seminar (online and offline) involving
Bunda PAUD, PKK cadres, and representatives of mothers at the village and district levels. The material
covered strengthening mother-child relationships, early attachment, non-violent parenting, and family
resilience towards Indonesia Emas 2045. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants'
understanding of the forms of violence in parenting, their impact on children's futures, as well as strategies
for compassionate parenting and emotional regulation. This activity further strengthens the view that
maternal empowerment is key to preventing violence and building sustainable family resilience.
