adorable — There is absolutely no need to teach “young innocent children” anything “not appropriate for them to know” in order to protect them. You need to teach them things that are very appropriate for them to know. Read my previous post for some ideas, but in summary, you need to teach them not to keep secrets and that their body belongs to them and no one has the right to touch them or even look at certain parts of their body without a very good reason (i.e. a doctor). The second part can be a very natural part of teaching tznius in general to young kids. I have discussed these topics with my kids starting from about 4 years old, and never felt the need to discuss anything inappropriate.
