Sexuality and Reproductive Health Education by Bundo Kanduang In Minang Kabau

. It is essential to provide sexual health education from an early age by understanding children to minimize sexual violence in children. The golden age (0-6 years) is a golden period in children's brain development. Education given at this time is a provision for the future, but if there is sexual violence, it will affect the child's psyche and soul. The mother, who is the child's first school, is the most appropriate provision of sexual health education. Every culture in Indonesia has values and teachings about parenting, such as in the Minang tribe with the concept of Bundo Kanduang as the main figure in childcare and education. Bundo Kanduang is a personification and cultural identity attached to mothers in Minangkabau. In 2019, 86 cases of sexual violence were reported in Padang city, with Lubuk Kilangan the sub-district with the most recorded cases of sexual violence against children aged 1-10 years. This study determined the factors related to maternal behaviour in providing sexuality and reproductive health education to children aged 3-6 years. It is a cross-sectional study conducted from February to April 2020. Seventy-one mothers were taken from 931 mothers of children in Lubuk Kilangan District, Padang City, using purposive sampling. Data was collected with 57 validated and reliable questions, and then the analysis is conducted by univariate, bivariate analyzed by test chi-square, and multivariate logistic regression test with a confidence degree of 90%. Reported more than half (62%) of the family had provided sexual health education to their children, but there were still families who had not taught them not to sleep with relatives of the opposite sex (31%), closed the bedroom door when sleeping (4%), slept without using minimal clothes (27%) and do not get used to the children to clean themselves and dress themselves (11%). Of those who did not provide sexual health education because 88% felt the child was still small, and 66% did not ask. Most of the mothers with higher education (70.4%) higher knowledge (74.6%), especially concerning the name and function of the reproductive organs (94.4%), the difference in boys and girls (93%), age 3-6 years was the golden period (90%).
