“…Families have responsibility and awareness in understanding children's sexual development without being queried by their children beforehand (Güder & Alabay, 2018). In a study conducted by Rakhmawati et al (2021), it was found that parents as respondents have different perspectives in terms of the children's age level to prepare for sexuality education. Open-minded parents perceived and realized that the understanding related to sexuality education should be explicitly conveyed according to the appropriate age level.…”

“…Matters associated with their body, organ functions and also the differences in their body parts are among the topics that are often queried by children. Therefore, two-way communication between parents and children is vital for sexuality education, and open discussion about sexuality-related problems is also demanded (Rakhmawati et al, 2021). In addition, parents should monitor children's activities, control the use of gadgets and know their children's friends to prevent misleading information related to sexuality (Walsh & Brandon, 2011).…”

Sexuality education in preschool was implemented in 2017 through Reproductive and Social Health Education (PEERS) in the Pillar of Physical Support and Health Care. Sexuality education is crucial to be implemented and applied gradually according to the children's age to shape their noble personalities, and provide them understanding. It can equip them with sensitivity and concerned about their sexual health in the future. The role of various parties, especially teachers, is comprehensible in delivering sexuality education to children effectively. Thus, this concept paper elucidates on the challenges of implementing sexuality education among preschool teachers from the aspect of teacher readiness encompassing knowledge, skills and attitudes. Based on the review, teachers' knowledge about sexuality education is at a moderate level. In addition, teachers also lacked skills in sexuality education. They are unconfident, uncomfortable and timid to share and deliver sexuality-related topics to children. Lack of specific modules, weaknesses in the implementation of the existing curriculum, parents' perceptions, cultural diversity and media influence are also challenges to teachers' readiness for effective implementation of sexuality education in preschools. Several suggestions for improvement are also presented involving various parties, such as teachers, parents, community and media, to realize the implementation of sexuality education in preschools.

“…CSA occurs because of the accessibility of violent perpetrators, strangers, or the closest person to the children who become victims, that can be occurred in institutions, schools, and homes (Briggs, 2014;Lozano et al, 2012;Rakhmawati et al, 2021).

This study aims to determine teenagers’ understanding of sexuality in Kupang and its environs. The discussion about sexuality in Eastern culture is considered taboo and impolite, however, with the advancement in technology comes several interesting contents including sexuality. Although there have been studies discussing sex education, little is known about the topic in the context of Kupang and East Nusa Tenggara. A quick survey was conducted to show a considerable deficiency in literacy and understanding of sexuality among teenagers in Kupang to counter the open fast-growing information access world. A sample of 153 students from the junior secondary (SMP) and senior secondary schools provided their feedback through an online questionnaire. The results show that (1) respondents did not fully comprehend the meaning of the term sex; (2) social media was the main source of the knowledge respondents had regarding sex; (3) majority of the respondents did not ask their parents about sexuality and prefer to find it on their own; (4) parents gave negative responses when asked about sex/sexuality because of lack of knowledge; (5) most of the respondents accessed pornography to see body parts and sexual activities; and (6) more than half of the respondents reported rejection emotions toward sex, such as ignorant, disapproval, and sexual desire arousal. To conclude, parents should educate their children on sexuality in a clear and easy-to-understand language without trying to cover up sexuality talks. It is essential to provide a solution to increase teenagers’ understanding of sexuality by encouraging comprehensive sex education based on their development stages, Eastern culture, and religious values conducted by parents, the media, and schools.
