In my humble opinion, it'd differ from case to case. One thing I think you may see an increase in would be sexual activity at a very young age. Even with the very careful inclusion of information about protection and responsible sex practices, they would still be at an age where they aren't mature enough to make the right decision. I think the best corse of action is to talk about nothing but the responsible part of it until they ask. If a kid is old enough to ask a question, it's entirely possible that they're old enough to get an answer. I don't particularly like the level of sheltering other people can use with their children because they can grow up naive, but totally leveling with a 3 year old might be opening a Pandora's box.
Interesting proposition, though.
