- W1998445315 abstract "Transmission of values and attitudes about sexuality from parents to children is inevitable; values and attitudes are transmitted whether parents choose to actively participate in the sexuality education of their children or are neglectful in the matter (Allen & Baber, 1992; Calderone, 1989; Goldman & Goldman, 1982; Klein & Gordon, 1992). The purpose of this article is to identify parental concerns about sexuality education that may contribute to parents' neglect of the topic of sexuality or make it difficult for them to take a proactive role in the sexuality education of their young children. Research on Sexuality Education by Parents Over the past two decades, researchers, recognizing the impact of the family on a child's developing sexuality and future behavior, have addressed the issue of sexuality education by parents. Most of this research has focused on school-aged children and their parents (e.g., Baldwin & Baronoski, 1990; Brown, 1989; Bundy & White, 1990; Huston, Martin, & Foulds, 1990; Kirby, 1985). Only a few recent studies have addressed the issue of parents as sexuality educators of young (preschool) children (Alter & Wilson, 1982; Davis, Koblinsky, & Sugawara, 1986; Hodson & Wampler, 1988; Koblinsky & Atkinson, 1982; Roberts, Kline, & Gagnon, 1978). Roberts et al. (1978) surveyed parents of 3-to 11-year-olds and concluded that most parents feel one conversation about sexuality during a child's development is sufficient. Koblinsky and Atkinson (1982) examined parents' plans for sexuality education of their children and found that both mothers and fathers plan to participate; however, most plan to delay discussion of value laden topics until early adolescence. A two-hour program for mothers was shown to improve their teaching skills, but did not increase their comfort with the topic of sexuality or their frequency of communication with their preschool children (Davis et al., 1986). Hodson and Wampler (1988) found that both middle class and working class parents indicated a high degree of comfort in discussing sexuality topics with their young children. However, working class parents in their study preferred to have the mother actually provide information to the child, whereas middle class parents preferred that both parents be involved with giving information to children. Several years ago, Mathtech, Inc. received a Centers for Disease Control contract to develop, implement, and evaluate a model program to help parents educate their preschool to adolescent age children about sexuality. These researchers identified five areas where parents needed help: addressing their own conflicting feelings about sexuality, exploring their own attitudes and values, obtaining accurate information, developing their communication skills, and understanding their roles as sexuality educators (Alter & Wilson, 1982). Each of the studies reviewed here started with hypotheses derived from prior theory and research without consideration of respondents' own thoughts and theories about sexuality education. With the exception of the Alter and Wilson (1982) study, none has suggested that parents must address their own conflicting feelings about sexuality. Additionally, an essential piece missing from current research is information that describes in parents' own words their everyday concerns about sexuality education. Parental Influence on Children's Sexual Health The importance of the family's influence on the sexual health of children is emphasized by sexuality educators (Calderone, 1989; Klein & Gordon, 1992), and it is well accepted that positive sex-related interaction patterns in everyday life are important to healthy family sexuality (Maddock, 1989). Empirical evidence indicates that adolescents whose parents communicated openly with them about sexuality when they were young report feeling much more comfortable discussing sexual topics with their parents and are more likely to make personal decisions about sexual behavior that reflect parental values and morals (Brock & Jennings, 1993; Fisher, 1988). …" @default.
