This particular phrasing signifies a departure from traditional, often euphemistic, explanations of reproduction and sexuality directed toward children. It represents a commitment to providing accurate, age-appropriate information about human biology and development.
Open and honest communication about these topics is crucial for fostering healthy attitudes towards bodies, relationships, and sexual health. Providing factual information early can help children develop a strong foundation for making informed decisions later in life, and protect them from misinformation and potential harm. This approach also contributes to reducing stigma and shame surrounding these subjects. Historically, discussions about reproduction and sexuality were often avoided or handled indirectly, leaving children vulnerable to inaccurate information from peers or unreliable sources.
