Appropriate anticipatory guidance for a school-age child is to discuss physical changes that will occur in puberty (before they happen),discuss smoking and substance abuse (hopefully before they are exposed to it),and inform parents that children this age still need 8 to 12 hours of sleep a night.Simple explanations and short stories are more appropriate for toddlers.
