The purpose of this study was to develop digital media to lower the level of anxiety against victims of violence as early as early childhood. This research uses a quantitative approach—sampling techniques with purposive sampling, involving 28 respondents. The instruments used are pre-test and post-test. Pre-test instruments are used to determine the initial condition of the child's anxiety levels before intervention. In comparison, the post-test instrument to see the level of anxiety after intervention with digital media. The results showed that digital media is effective in lowering anxiety levels by 11.89 points. The weakness of this research in the implementation of child intervention should always be accompanied by parents or mentors, so further research needs to be done to develop media that can learn independently.
