Critical Discourse Analysis of Neleng Neng Kung Nursery Rhyme: A Well-being Perspective on Mepende as a Sundanese Local Wisdom.

This research aims to identify Neleng Neng Kung nursery rhyme from the perspective of a child's well being. Child well-being is currently facing threats due to several factors, mainly the crisis of dominant values from modernization (identically to the westernization). Adding to the factor is the change in the current Western dominance in science and knowledge. In the child well-being context, each ethnic group has childcare traditions, specifically for nursery rhymes. Various studies have touched on this subject, but none of them relate to child well-being. Therefore, this study aims to cover the relation of Neleng Neng Kung as a nursery rhyme with child well being. This research uses the Norman Fairclough model of Critical Discourse Analysis, which includes three steps: description, interpretation, and explanation, and the UNICEF framework for child well being. The conclusion shows that the local wisdom covers a part of the child well-being framework and centers well-being to social relations. Physical and intellectual aspects must be guided by social ones.
