The Impact of Family Crisis on Student Development in Elementary School

Abstract

This study aims to identify the impact of family crises on the development of elementary school students. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research involves interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that family crises, such as broken homes, negatively affect children's emotional, social, and academic development. Affected children exhibit withdrawn behavior, moral difficulties, and decreased academic performance. Collaborative approaches between schools and families are necessary to provide effective support. Interventions by class teachers, such as home visits and personal counseling, have proven helpful in mitigating these negative impacts. This study highlights the importance of emotional and social support for children from broken homes.
