Death should come when they are older, sex, when they become interested in females or males, and decide to make a couple of friends of the opposite sex. Life facts, health/diet/prevention, any time you want, health, not too much where you throw away the candy bar they tried to make you buy.

Let them lead you. Answer whatever questions they ask, whenever they ask them. But answer only what they ask about. Too often we decide they need more information than they want or need. Trying to force feed kids with facts about sex before they really want to know makes about as much sense as forcing kids to take music lessons before they are interested. Every kid is different, and I can't imagine an area of education which more deserves to be tailored to the specific needs of each learner.

Keep an eye on the individual child. When he/she begins to question or show an awareness of sex / reproduction / where babies come from / et cetera then ask them if they have any questions. Be direct and unashamed in your answers. My son is only 9 and I already have several books on my bookshelf that are appropriate for many different ages: basic (bare facts); peri-pubescent; young adult and advanced (The Joy of Sex). Nothing is taboo for him to ask.
Just be comfortable with it yourself and follow the child's lead.

I was taught about molestation in kindergarten. My mom gave us a cartoon book and we read it together while she explained good touching vs. bad touching.
in 3rd grade the school showed us the "development" and sex ed videos. Both were education and not crazy graphic. After wards when we got home we talked about it with my mom.
Again in 4,5,6th grades we had the classes each year and again continued talking with my mom about it.
Seriously the more communication the better. Since we had these conversations while growing up it was never uncomfortable to ask my mom questions regarding any issue.

If they started school sex they already know, they just won't tell you.. Better to teach them about how to balance a check book, keep a job, identify losers, mind their own buisiness, change a tire, practicalities make all the difference.

You shouldn`t wait until your kids come to you about things (they may not come at all)
I tell my kids stuff even if they don`t ask (but they are very curious and do ask a lot of questions about the body and sex and stuff, well my 8 year old does anyway....)
When they get older and have their own little circle of friends you don`t approve of, it may already be too late and they may get wrong information.

Whenever they start asking. The sooner you (the parents) get to them, the sooner they'll know the facts and can make the right decisions when their peers jump in with false information/pressure to engage in inappropriate behavior.

Young around 15, cos they can understand us better around that age.
