Abstract
AbstractThis study evaluated the extent to which a sex education program for parents of preschool children changed mothers' teaching skills, comfort levels, and frequency of parent-child communication. A pre/posttest design was used, with mothers of middle- and working-class socioeconomic status serving as subjects in the sex education and control groups. Results revealed that program participants, as compared to controls: (a) planned to introduce sexual information to children at earlier ages; (b) provided more accurate responses to children's sex-related questions; and (c) were less likely to punish children's sexual language and behavior. The program had little impact on mothers' comfort or the frequency with which they discussed most sexual topics in the month following the intervention. Findings suggest that parent programs can improve mothers' skills as sex educators.
