Speaking from the perspective of being a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Nicolás. There is a time and a place for each subject to be introduced. Gender identity is a fraught topic, and in general children who are not manifesting any discomfort with the gender identity they were assigned based on their biological sex don't need to be exposed to this information early, because it's not yet relevant to them. It's different for kids who feel discomfort with their assigned gender identity at an early age (as with almost all LGBTQ people I have known), but these situations are best handled by supportive parents and a supportive peer group IMO.
