1. that "sex talk" does not have to be hidden, naughty, and guilt ridden.
2. to become more confident in their ability to communicate with others.
3. that adults are willing to discuss these topics with them.
4. All of the above.

1. they themselves ask a lot of questions.
2. they show openness to questions through their body language.
3. they always seem to know the right answers.
4. they never lose eye contact.

Anatomically correct dolls, birthing dolls, and fetal development charts are examples of:

2. items that must be reviewed and approved by parents before they are made available to the children.

According to the article by David J. Schonfeld, et.al:
1. elementary school-age children are too young to grasp the concepts of illness as they apply to AIDS.
2. even a developmentally appropriate, multi-faceted, school-based education curriculum can increase children's misconceptions about AIDS.
3. a developmentally appropriate, multi-faceted, school-based education curriculum can significantly heighten children's understanding about AIDS.
4. teaching young children about AIDS, regardless of the teaching strategies, increases their fears and anxieties.

David J. Schonfeld and colleagues also found that the current lack of AIDS education in the elementary grades is due to:
1. lack of adequate programming.
2. low priority for such curricula.
3. inadequate teacher training.
4. All of the above.
