Should children be told all the facts of life, irrespective of their age?

Truthful guidance, given in response to a child's inquiry, nurtures understanding and trust, while suppression only breeds ignorance and perverse curiosity.

— Osho
According to Osho, children should be told the facts of life truthfully—but not indiscriminately or by age alone. Wait for the child’s own inquiry and respond with honest, appropriate answers; don’t lie or evade. Suppression breeds ignorance and perverse curiosity; truthful, timely guidance—covering body, feelings, and the sacred dimension of sex—cultivates healthy understanding and trust.

Tell kids the truth about sex when they ask, in a way they can understand, instead of hiding it or giving too much too soon.
