I have been thinking of this too and think the problem stems from the overt sexualisation of our society in general!
Children want to model our behaviours, and while ever there is soft porn on tv that they call music videos, sexy underwear ads at bus stops, and way, way too much skin on show in public from some people, sexualisation is almost inevitable.
I believe children should be told age appropriate information about their bodies and sexuality, but I think the best way to avoid early sexualisation is to be a good role model and avoid overtly sexualised material in general. A very tough call though!
How did we get to this point anyway? I think music videos should be banned on morning tv!
