Self-Education for Elementary School Orphanage Children

Independence is the ability to direct and control one's feelings in thinking and acting, being responsible, having self-confidence, and discipline. Being able to control feelings includes the child's self-control and the child's conscience when performing independent behavior. Independence in children is realized if they use their minds in making various decisions, from choosing the learning equipment they want to use, and choosing playmates, to more complicated things. Similar roles and positions through the government and private institutions, one of which is LKSA (child social welfare institution) which was developed as a professional service institution and became the choice to provide child welfare services, that is one way to keep children in good care by accommodating children. The children are in an orphanage, to help improve the welfare of children by educating, caring for, guiding, directing, and providing skills as parents in a family should do to develop children's independence.
