Abstract

Early childhood sex education in Indonesia has become urgent due to rising cases of child sexual violence reported by authorities. Despite its proven role in preventing abuse and supporting healthy development, implementation remains limited, hindered by cultural taboos, lack of educator training, and insufficient institutional support. This study analyzed how early childhood educators’ knowledge and perceptions influence their attitudes toward sex education in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. Using a quantitative correlational approach and simple random sampling, 99 kindergarten teachers responded to an online questionnaire. Multiple linear regression showed knowledge and perception positively and significantly affected attitudes, contributing 36.1% simultaneously. However, many teachers still exhibit hesitant or unsupportive attitudes, influenced by cultural factors and lack of training and support. Limitations include the sample restricted to Bantul teachers, reliance on questionnaires without qualitative data, and focus only on knowledge and perceptions. Future research should expand geographic scope and methods, testing structured training and parental involvement programs. Educational institutions are advised to provide routine training based on local context and guidelines, while schools should engage parents and community leaders to reduce stigma and enhance effective early childhood sex education implementation.

Abstract

Childhood is a fundamental stage in the formation of individual character and social behavior, particularly regarding acceptance or rejection of diversity. Children aged 4–6 years are in a highly sensitive developmental phase where parenting styles play a central role in shaping how they perceive differences. This study aims to analyze the influence of parenting styles on the tendency toward discriminatory behavior in early childhood in Kertomulyo Village, Pati Regency. Using a qualitative approach and case study method involving four families, data were collected through online interviews and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that modern parenting styles such as positive parenting, mindful parenting, and gentle parenting when applied consistently, can foster empathy, tolerance, and acceptance of differences. Conversely, inconsistent parenting, authoritarian styles, excessive protectiveness, or lack of supervision over digital media consumption can contribute to the development of discriminatory attitudes in children. These findings underscore the crucial role of parents in instilling inclusive values and shaping children's character from an early age, as well as the need for collaboration among families, educational institutions, and communities in creating environments that support the growth of a tolerant and just generation
