This study aims to describe the analysis of the socio-emotional development of a four-year-old broken home child in Nagari Simpang, a village in Simpang Alahan Mati Subdistrict, Pasaman Regency, West Sumatera Province. This descriptive qualitative research used a case study approach. The researchers collected data through observation, interviews, and documentation with one girl as the subject of the study. The data analysis technique was done by data triangulation. The results showed that a broken home in a four-year-old child had a good and also bad impact on the child's socio-emotional development at the same moment. The impact was where the child could control and look at herself. However, in socializing, the girl imposed herself in an environment that often involved her.
