Sex Education for 4 year olds !

Children today live in a very different world, and while we want them to embrace new technologies, they do have to be made aware of the dangers too. I'm assuming these lessons will aim to point out to young children what is NOT appropriate , what is dangerous and how to keep themselves safe when using the internet or social media. Sex education needs to go far beyond just teaching about body parts these days.

Haven't yet looked at the detail but we have been teaching this in school for many years. The younger children learn about their bodies names of parts etc changes in adolescence etc are taught in years 5 and 6. As far as I am aware the big change is that it will become compulsory. Previously parents could withdraw their kids from the lessons which meant they either learnt it all in the playground possibly misreported or they went into adolescence unprepared. The lessons are age appropriate.
