Frea Ivana, with NIM 2130109019, Thesis title ‘’Parents Role in the Importance of Early Chilhood Sex Education in Bonjol District Pasaman Regency’’. Early childhood Islamic Education Study Program (PIAUD) Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar State Islamic University. The problem in this study is that some parents have the knowledge to introduce sex education to their children, while others lack it due to feelings of shame. Many children still lack an understanding of sex education, leading to sexual harassment and violence against children. Some supervise while others do not. Based on these findings, this study aims to explore and determine the role of parents in the importance of sex education for early childhood in Bonjol District, Pasaman Regency. The research method used by the author was descriptive qualitative research. The subjects of this study consisted of five parents at the Al-Hidayah Kumpulan Kindergarten. Data collection techniques used were interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used included data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and triangulation. The results of the study indicate that five (5) parents have provided sex education to their children at the Al-Hidayah Kumpulan Kindergarten, but this has not been optimal. Therefore, the role of parents in providing sex education to children is by getting children used to dressing in closed spaces and explaining the differences between boys and girls. The role of parents in providing direction and guidance regarding sex education to children is by directly informing them about body parts that should not be touched or seen by others through storytelling, singing, and watching animated videos about body parts. The role of parents in supervising sex education for children is by monitoring children's social interactions and their use of gadgets. The conclusion of this study shows that some parents have introduced sex education to their children, but this is not yet optimal. Efforts made include providing knowledge about body parts, providing guidance, and monitoring children's social interactions. Keywords: Role of Parents, Sex education, Early Childhood
