Back Ground and Statement of the ProblemParents are the first socializing agents, teachers, leaders and counselors to their children. Parent's guidance and support is always important, however it is highly needed in the period of adolescence, which is a transition from childhood to adulthood and is characterized by spurts of physical, mental, emotional, social and sexual development [1]. Healthy sexuality is a developmental process which needs investments from parents.Sexual risk taking which includes early coital debut, multiple sexual relation, non use and inconsistent use of condom is becoming common among substantial numbers of young people. Risky sexual activity puts adolescents at risk of various reproductive health challenges. It is identified that about 20,000 girls under the age of 18 give birth each day Parenting style is defined as the ardent climate provided by parents and parenting practices signify the behaviors in which parents involve with the purpose of undertaking specific socialization goals. Research evidences showed that parental practices such as parent child connectedness, parental monitoring and parents and adolescents communication about sexuality is protective against risky sexual behavior [9-11]. Baumrind's identified four parenting styles: Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive and Neglectful. Studies showed that children from authoritative parents tend to engage in fewer risk behaviors than children from other parenting types [12,13].Although, Adolescent's behavior is deeply affected by the family environment they live and parents are the main source of influence and credible sources to their children with regard to sexuality little is known in Ethiopia about the relationship between the different parenting practices and safe sexual behavior. Thus, it is the purpose of this study to assess the effect of different parenting styles and parenting practices on the sexual behavior of adolescents.The result of this study will help to formulate policies, design strategies and programmes about proper parenting practices for the current and would be parents.

In the first stage one high school was selected randomly from each sub-city. The sample size was assigned proportionate to the total student population for each selected school. One section was selected from each grade in the identified schools Abstract Background: Healthy sexuality is a developmental process which needs investments from parents.

“…The dearth of empirical work in this area is surprising given the large body of research indicating that parents can invoke a number of specific practices that are associated with delayed coital debut and decreased sexual risk taking [34][35][36]. Parenting practices identified as having a robust relationship with reduced sexual risk behavior on the part of youth include parent-adolescent communication about sex [37], parental attitudes and values that may discourage sexual behavior [38], and parental monitoring, control and supervision [36,39].…”

Latino youth are at high risk for acquiring HIV during adolescence. The present study documented the nature of adolescent romantic relationships among 702 Latino eighth grade students and their mothers in the Bronx, NY. The study examined adolescent romantic relationships, the association between participation in such relationships and intentions to engage in sexual risk behavior, and maternal influences on adolescent's involvement in intimate behaviors in romantic relationships. Almost 50% of youth had been in a romantic relationship, which typically lasted 3-3.5 months. Mothers tended to approve of intimate behaviors and sexual activity in romantic relationships more so for males than females. Latino youth tended to underestimate maternal disapproval of a range of intimate behaviors, and the correlations between perceived and actual maternal approval were generally low in magnitude. Finally, maternal orientations towards their adolescent engaging in romantic relationships were associated with their child's intentions to have sexual intercourse in the future.
