Teach three-year-olds about sex and fertility, say experts

Young children should learn about reproduction or risk future chances of parenthood through a lack of knowledge, conference hears

Young adults receive only 20% of information about fertility from official sources and often do not learn about their reproductive health until they are trying to conceive, it was revealed.
