    I think you can still teach children what is not okay without going fully into sexual education. Rules like don’t let a stranger touch you, my private square and ensuring children can reach out to an adult for any reason at any time.

    This doesn’t need to fully cover the concepts of sexual intercourse or even the differences in sex/gender. Lessons like no one is allowed to touch chests or groins on anyone and no one is allowed to touch you anywhere without permission, can help set boundries without covering more sexually mature topics.

      “teaching children what is not ok sexually”.

      That’s called sexual education. What did you think they were teaching? Transmission rates statistics? Kamasutra?
