This research used descriptive qualitative methods, with twelve research subjects selected using purposive techniques. Data collection techniques were interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation studies.

The results showed that interpersonal communication between parents and children is key to building learning motivation through the application of interpersonal communication aspects, namely openness, empathy, support, a positive attitude, and equality.
