A report due out soon will suggest moves designed to curb the "sexualisation" of young children.  Whilst fully understanding the motivation behind this approach, I cannot say I am fully in favour of it.  As far as I am concerned, the sooner kids are introduced to the realities of "the birds and the bees" the better.  As somebody who was brought up in the 40s when such things were never talked about - indeed the fact that there was something to be talked about wasn't even talked about - I know the problems which can arise through ignorance - or even worse, misunderstandings arising from faulty playground gossip  There's a fine line to be trodden to be sure, but I'd much rather have been brought up in today's world than the world of my childhood when it come to matters sexual.
