Abstract

Sexual education in Indonesia is remained Taboo, so many parents and schools do not have the awareness to provide sexual education to the children. However, some families tried to educate their children about sexuality. This study answers questions raised which how parents are involved in providing sexual education to early childhood. Researchers used a qualitative approach. Depth interviews have been done to the five parents. Researchers found three main themes which are relationships between parents and children; materials and media of sexual education; and parents’ roles and methods in educating sexuality. Through those themes, researchers revealed the roles of family in introducing sexual education to early childhood in a comprehensive and in-depth manner. This study concludes that family is not only conveying sexual education contents, but also implementing various methods and strategies for learning, and build positive relationships to the children.
