This type of research is qualitative with a case study approach and data collection techniques of non-participant observation, structured and unstructured interviews, and documentation. The data analysis method is guided by Miles and Huberman's qualitative data analysis techniques, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research was conducted in three kindergartens in West Semarang District with the number of research participants 9 children and 3 teachers of class b. The results showed that parental divorce can cause a child's self-confidence crisis which is characterized by withdrawn behavior, feeling shy or not confident when appearing in public, and lack of interaction with peers. By providing maximum support from the family environment, school environment, and the surrounding environment can minimize the impact of parental divorce. This study recommends collaboration between parents and teachers in creating a supportive environment for children after divorce.</em></p> Shelly Novita Sari Yuli Kurniawat Sugiyo Pranoto Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Buah Hati 2025-09-30 2025-09-30 12 2 110 122 10.46244/buahhati.v12i2.3330 https://ejournal.bbg.ac.id/buahhati/article/view/3404 <p>Creativity is a person’s competence in producing a new breakthrough, both in terms of ideas and tangible works, that has uniqueness compared to old findings.
