Not really, they already pick that up organically from their peers at that age, I maintain that it makes you less credible as a parent/guide to them. If you help them with the easy questions, they're more liky to seek you out for the hard ones.
Also, long before that, you've cultivated a tradition of believing ridiculous nonsense for which there's no easy cure or gurantee it can be remedied before it ends up creating even bigger problems
