Previous studies on child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention have largely focused on educational interventions and children’s protective knowledge, while parental perspectives on using story-based media to facilitate age-appropriate prevention education remain underexplored. This study explores parents’ perspectives on using KOCAK (Kokoru and Children’s Stories) to educate children aged 4–5 about sexual abuse prevention. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with parents of children aged 4–5 at Hompimpaa School. The findings indicate that KOCAK supports parent–child communication when discussing safe and unsafe touch and personal privacy boundaries. However, two mini visual cards require revision to provide more representative illustrations. The storybook content was considered relevant to children’s experiences, with further development needed through case-based narratives addressing gadget use and digital safety. This study contributes context-specific insights into how parents perceive and adapt story-based educational media for early childhood CSA prevention. Its practical implications include improving visual representations, expanding digital safety content, and strengthening parental guidance to support age-appropriate, open, and protective communication with young children. Unlike previous studies that primarily emphasize children's protective knowledge or interventions, this study uniquely reveals how parents critically evaluate and adapt specific visual symbols and story-based narratives to address both bodily safety and emerging digital risks in early childhood CSA prevention.
