Abstract

The lack of effective sexual education programs for adolescents leads to the formation of distorted ideas about gender-role behavior, and is also one of the factors in lowering the age of onset of sexual activity. The article examines the importance and influence of parental upbringing in the process of sexual socialization of adolescents. It analyzes studies that make it clear that it is necessary to implement sexual education, which will be the basis for a safe future for adolescents. Namely: the role of parents in the sexual education of adolescents and their relationship styles; problems of artnership between family and school in the sexual socialization of students; development of social skills of adolescents in the context of sexual education; the main types of relationships that in one way or another affect communication between parents and adolescents; conflicting opinions of parents regarding the implementation of sex education for children and adolescents. John Bowlby’s attachment theory is described as an example of open and trusting relationships between parents and adolescents. The directions for building an effective dialogue between parents and adolescents on sexuality issues are considered, which correspond to the principles of comprehensive sexuality education, supported by the World Health Organization and UNESCO. Barriers that hinder open communication, cultural and social stereotypes and prejudices, religious and moral beliefs are analyzed, and strategies for forming trusting relationships in the family are proposed, which are based on a consistent combination of emotional support, open communication, and respect for the child’s autonomy. It has been determined that trusting, open and partnership relationships between parents and adolescents contribute to the formation of a responsible attitude towards one’s own sexuality, personal boundaries and healthy interpersonal relationships and are a necessary condition for increasing the effectiveness of sex education in the family environment.
