- Abstract
Every child must get guidance regarding sex from both parents to develop according to their nature. However, the family is not always in complete condition because of the parents. Parents who only raise their children have problems, including in terms of sexual education. This study aimed to determine the form of education, the methods used, and the obstacles faced by single parents in applying sex education to their children. This study was a qualitative study with ten informants selected through the purposive sampling technique. Observation, interviews, and documentation collected research data. Data research obtained was analyzed through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and withdrawal/verification of data conclusions. Data validity was checked through the triangulation of sources. The results of the study found: The forms of sexual education applied in single-parent families are; a) introduction to the function and shape of the body or anatomy; b) Self-security; c) Development and changes in body shape (puberty); d) Social relations and adultery, and e) dress etiquette. Education is carried out using lectures, advice, question and answer, and punishment (reprimand). The obstacles in implementing sexual education are, a) Children tend to meet their parents, b) Mothers as single parents share interactions, c) The application of sexual education to boys tends to be forced.
