Eksplorasi Deskriptif tentang Layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling di PAUD: Realitas, Kendala dan Harapan

“…Layanan bimbingan dan konseling dapat memberikan bantuan sesuai dengan aspek yang dibutuhkan oleh siswa PAUD (Erişti & Avcı, 2021) dan keluarganya untuk tujuan perkembangan yang optimal (Harahap & Armanila, 2023;Kardeġ, 2014). Dogan (2000) menambahkan bahwa layanan bimbingan dan konseling dibutuhkan pada semua tingkatan mulai dari pra sekolah sampai ke tempat kerja (Gençoğlu et al, 2019;Hadiarni et al, 2021). Program bimbingan dan konseling di sekolah merupakan layanan pendukung bagi siswa untuk melengkapi proses pendidikan (Hatunoğlu, 2021) karena pada masa sekolah, anakanak akan mengalami beberapa periode sulit yang akan menghambat proses yang mereka lalui (Ahmad & Zadha., 2022).…”
