Summary
Interpersonal perception is one of the important things in the process of communication and social interaction. According to Walgito (1990), interpersonal perception is a process of organizing, interpreting the stimulus received by an organism or individual so that it is something meaningful, and is an active and integrative activity in the whole individual. The process of forming interpersonal perception begins with one's observation of the situation and behavior, sometimes a momentary assessment of the state of the environment (Thalib & Si, 2017). The provision of education is an effort to change perceptions of school-age children. According to Frobel, education in children should contain elements of play and fantasy. The age of the child is the age of play and likes to fantasize, so the child can channel these aspirations by providing various kinds of children's play equipment in school (Thalib, 2017)
