Forms Of Interpersonal Communication Between Parents And Children In Motivating Children To Become Qur'an Memo-rizer At Islamic Boarding School Nurul Islam Jember

Abstract

Abstracts This study explores the forms of interpersonal communication between parents and children in motivating children to become Hafiz Al-Qur'an at Islamic Boarding School Nurul Islam Jember. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach and applies the Social Penetration Theory by Altman and Taylor to analyze the communication dynamics. Findings reveal four key forms of interpersonal communication: direct advice, interactive discussion, practical involvement, and symbolic appreciation. These forms demonstrate the progression of emotional closeness between parents and children, which in turn plays a significant role in strengthening the child's motivation to memorize the Qur'an. At the early stage, communication is more directive and formal, but over time, it becomes more reflective and emotionally engaging. The study shows that consistent and supportive communication fosters a strong parent-child bond, leading to better memorization outcomes. This research highlights the importance of emotionally rich and participatory communication in supporting children’s success in the tahfidz program.
