Well, I think we should realise as adults that there is a stage in child development where they are going to realise that boys and girls are different and then they are going to get curious about it.
Really, it is going to happen. It's a part of childhood, I think.
Perhaps just make sure you supervise your daughter and her playmates well when they are at your house, and don't let her go someplace where you don't think she will be well supervised.
And like the others said, explain that some parts of a person are private, because they're special and that's why we always keep them covered up when we're in public. Mention that when she's a grown-up lady those parts will make it possible for her to have her own baby, so they're very special and should be protected.
At four she will understand all of it. Just make it seem non-scary and speak to her normally. SImple sentences.

You can go to your local library or to the guy that does the missing persons on T.V website and get videos on proper and improper behavior and what to do in the situation if it comes about. Otherwise sit with your daughter and explain good touching and bad touching and what to do if she feels uncomfortable in any situation and talk with her on who to go talk to if your not around or if the person who she should talk to did something that was uncomfortable to her and find someone else she can trust to talk with and call you. It's a touchy subject to talk with kids about but also let her know that anything that happens to her is not her fault and she should not be ashamed what so ever that it is wrong on the other person behalf.

when i was little i had a book about different situations. don't talk to strangers and so on. there was one page about a little girl in school who was touched by the janitor and how she ran and talked to her mom. It was made very clear to me that it was wrong without being too graphic. B/c of that book, i went to my mother at the age of 5 about a family member and inappropriate touching.

Explain "good touching and bad touching" and tell her good is a hug from you or other family members. And bad touching is anything that makes her uncomfortable, or a stranger trying to hug her without you being there to supervise it.

with my 4 yr old son i broke it down.
ex: "it is ok to hold hands give mommy and daddy hugs, but we have place that are only for potty time"
and are potty places are just for that person. and touching or playing makes the friend "sad"
good luck.
hope this helps.

Just tell her there is no need to make it baby-like she will understand and act like a big girl, also she may not even take it in now, you eed to have this conversation often.

Tell that everybody's body (you can probably phrase that better) is their own, and that nobody has a right to do anything to anybody that they don't like. If anyone trys it, then they should tell a teacher, or you.
