Taling to Children about SSA

The first question is, what are you telling them about heterosexuality?

Do you mean they made it to 4th grade without hearing quite a bit about it?

I homeschooled my daughter (she's in college now, so it was some years ago). I used to use materials provided by the public school system, until I saw in the books for 4-year-olds such things being explained and made mainstream.

I just thought there were other things preschoolers should be focusing on.

When I have to discuss things with kids that are sensitive in any way, I tend to answer their questions without offering a whole lot of additional info if it is appropriate. Sometimes the appropriate thing to do is to tell them to ask their parents.

The context in which you are teaching, the children involved and the kinds of homes they are from, the policies of your employers, and other things have to be kept in mind. As an employed teacher, I have worked only in the private sector and in a Christian environment, so I wasn't as constrained by legal concerns as some teachers might be.
