Acts of violence can cause children to lose the most basic things in their lives and result in death. Mothers are the main place for children's education, but mothers sometimes make the mistake of thinking that harsh education with physical punishment is a form of disciplining children. Efforts can be made to increase awareness and reduce the number of incidents of physical violence by providing information. Modules are one of the media which are teaching materials in printed form that are used for independent learning because in the modules there are learning instructions that individuals can study themselves. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of the physical violence prevention module in early childhood on mothers' knowledge about physical violence at the ABA Janturan Kindergarten, Yogyakarta.
