I've seen on the news tonight that every school in the UK will have to teach sex education to children from the age of 4.
I am a little torn on this subject. On one hand, I think that children need to be children and making them grow up too fast is kind of stealing their childhood. I think 4 is too young.
On the other hand, I think that its good that children are learning about relationships and consent and, in this day and age, children are exposed to a lot more risks now than what we used to be when we were kids.
I just hope that the education is adequate and that it saves children from falling victim to predators. Abuse is something that affects lives forever.
