P Parenting Patterns in Preventing the Emergence of LGBT Behavior from an Early Age in the Family
Abstract
This article examines parenting styles in preventing the emergence of LGBT behavior from an early age within the family context through an Islamic legal perspective. Using a qualitative approach with the library research method, this study analyzes various literature sources, including books and academic journals, to explore factors leading to LGBT behavior and effective prevention strategies. The findings indicate that the authoritative parenting style, characterized by a balance of emotional warmth and reasonable control, is the most effective in fostering healthy identity development. Furthermore, the study highlights that integrating Islamic parenting—specifically through faith-based education (tarbiyah imaniyah), moral guidance, and early sex education (such as the separation of beds at age ten)—acts as a critical protective factor. In conclusion, the study suggests that active parental involvement and consistent application of religious values are essential to maintaining family stability and preventing deviant behavior, providing a practical framework for parents facing modern social challenges.
