If only I had known about P for pedophiles before my near escape from one when I was 6 years old.
That is why modern children must be taught, from say 5, about the diversity of life in the world they are entering. They must know it is not all soft and cuddly but has evil everywhere which is hard and dangerous. Grimm’s Fairytales taught us so much about what was scary in our early years, but not enough.
I learnt my ABC from young; A. Accept nothing
B. Believe no one
C. Challenge everything
That is why I am so cynical , always have been which earned me many brownie points in business and working alongside the police when I had to.
So teach them as much as they can take when they are young to avoid later challenges. 
Why not teach the toddler about things 99% of normal people will encounter in life rather than the 1% he probably won't.
This type of behaviour, encouraged by dysfunctional adults, takes the form of the abnormal masquerading as being normal.
A 3 year old can enjoy an ABC book......a Gay BC book used to groom and indoctrinate toddlers is plain wrong.
Lizzie......we were all told to keep away from strange men when kids. That was all that was needed. 
It is not grooming or indoctrinating, it is just starting to give the idea that there are many types of people in the world, black, Asian, white etc, along with two mums or two dads with varying sexualities and genders, heading up a family as is very common now that it is all perfectly legal to do so. Just look at how many gay men there are in our communities, all of whom where legally oppressed to hide their real feelings. Oranges are not the only fruit, and that is what today’s youngsters must learn, as I said from 5 onwards, in a gradual process. Ignorance and plain nastiness of the past that we witnessed as children cannot be the norm now.
Just remember that us girls can start their periods now at 8 years of age, so the learning of the harsh realities of the adult world with all it’s risks need to be explained by responsible parents, backed up increasingly by the teaching of such topics at school. Graduated of course as the ages increase.
In the old days we did not have the media the children of today have access to, which has increased their desire to know more. It is the duty of modern parents to help them understand it gradually and take them away from the smutty, stupid, and highly damaging approach they WILL learn on social media, the internet, or around the playground. The truth will always be the best option.
The truth is that so many of the children today, from a young age, know the meaning behind the “F” word. So is it not better for them to know the truth in an educated way, and not learn by way of the giggling, innuendo and uncertainty we had as 7+ year olds?
If you think children should enjoy their childhood in the general ignorance we did, then I’m afraid that world, wether you like it or not, has gone.
