<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Parents are the right caregivers in preparing children to grow and develop properly. Therefore, the role of parents is essential in providing good education to children. A Role-play approach is an education that gives freedom to fully express and make decisions to provide stimulation to children's fine motor and gross motor development. In addition, a mother can evaluate the children's experiences through observations when children do activities through this role-play method. In fishing communities, especially Fishermen in Kajuara Village, Bone Regency, the population level of children 6-24 months is very high, but a child's development occurs naturally without any stimulation that can support maximum child growth and development. The purpose of this study was to determine the Effect of Education through a Role Play Approach on Mother's Ability to Stimulate the Motor Development of Children 6-24 Months in the Fisherman Community of Bone Regency. This research uses Quasy Experimental with Non-equivalent Control Group Design approach. The sample in the study was 30 people who were taken using the judgmental sampling method and divided into two groups, namely the control group and the intervention group. The results of this study indicate that the provision of education through lectures does not affect the mother's ability to stimulate the motor development of children aged 6-24 months, while education through a role-play approach affects the mother's ability to stimulate the motor development of children aged 6-24 months in the fishing community of Kajuara Village, Bone Regency.
