Abstract

This Study aims to investigates what is the role of parents with mild retardation children in efforts to provide sex education. The researcher also wants to see the health of sexual development as well as the problems that arise in connection with these aspects. The method used in this research is a qualitative method. The technique used in collecting data is interview and observation techniques. Data collection tools in this study were interview guidelines, observation sheets, and tape recorders. The number of subjects is 4 people, 3 of them are mothers and 1 subject is significant others/aunts. From the results of the study, it was found that all subjects had implemented sex education within the guidelines of the American Association of Pediatrics without them knowing it. The average subject applies democratic parenting and sometimes is overprotected. All subject children experienced healthy and normal sexual development. In the sexual aspect, the support needed for children who are female is greater than men. The party most involved in providing sex education is the mother. The factor that makes the subject willing to apply sex education is fear if the child experiences something unpleasant in the aspect of his sexuality.
