Give four-year-olds sex education, say charities
04 07 08 - 05:48 Two leading sexual health charities are calling for children as young as four to be given compulsory sex education.Brook and the Family Planning Association (FPA) argue that teaching children about sex from a young age would help reduce abortion rates and sexually transmitted infections when they reach adolescence.
The charities said children should be taught the names of body parts and about sex and relationships.
The Brook chief executive, Simon Blake, is calling for all UK governments to ensure that all children age four upwards receive sex and relationships education in schools.

It's a really bad idea, so they most likely will do it. Parents can decide if their four year olds should be taught about this and it is really too young, most realise. If the child is asking questions then they shouldn't be lied to, but they don't need to be burdened with too much knowledge on such matters at so young an age. This is called "stealing innocence".
