This research was conducted to understand parents' involvement in providing sex education to early childhood in Pattingalloang Baru Village. The purpose of this study was to identify the methods used by parents in educating children about sex. The method used was a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that parents have tried to provide information related to sex to early childhood through several forms of education, such as introducing gender, telling about the sex organs in humans, teaching manners of interpersonal relationships, separating beds between boys and girls, and keeping children's watching from shows that can have a negative impact. The implication of this study is the importance of parental awareness and involvement in sex education in early childhood to form a healthy and positive understanding of sexuality from an early age.
