Sexual Education, the Common Task of Family and School

The novel religion of Islam which teaches people the correct manner of living is not indifferent over sexual issues. Rather, it has paid special attention to it. The reason might be that the sexual instinct affects the majority of human issues such as material and spiritual issues and it varies the human fate. In this research, the role of parents in sexual education will be investigated in 3 periods of 7 years and the role of school as the complementary to sexual education role at home will be addressed. The method of the present research is descriptive- analytic. The following cases can be addressed as the major results of the present research. The role of family in sexual education in the first 7 years of life includes the generation of desirable sexual habits, responding to the sexual questions of children, parents helping in the formation of sexual identity, prevention from the arousal of early time sexual feeling. In this time period, the role of parents is very remarkable. The most important role of family in sexual education7 in the second 7 years (junior school course) includes the cooperation with school, inclusion of the differences of sexual education of the girl and boy and the cares to be included by parents in their relations, in cosmetics, observation of coverage and in watching movie.
