Abstract

     The research objectives were to 1) study the social and cultural changes regarding sex education; 2) study family’s child rearing practice and school teaching regarding sex education of primary school students concerning executive functions in being cautious for own desire; and 3) recommend guidelines for family’s child rearing practice and school teaching regarding sex education in primary schools concerning executive functions in being cautious for own desire. This area-based research was conducted by collaborating with the researchers in the area to determine guidelines in supporting families and schools by using the executive functions for being cautious in own desire which are the fundamentals to develop students from their inside process using their families’ rearing, school teaching and other supportive environments. The target group of this study were 11 community leaders, 45 households, and 36 primary school students of Ban-nong-hua-chang School. The research findings reveal that the guidelines to develop the executive functions for being cautious in own desire which are the fundamentals to develop students from their inside process using their families’ rearing, school teaching and other supportive environments should begin with students’ flexible thinking and behaviors. The ability of students to control their emotions and behaviors by expressing them appropriately would assist them to be successful in studying and working.
