I knew I had to do this because I heard of a court case where the child did not know the correct name of their private parts and it made it hard to convict the predator. That is why I taught them the correct term. They were six when I told them.
my son who is turning three in June calls his penis 'penis' and obviously that is how I call it as well. if there was a need to ever discuss his testicles, that is exactly how I would have called them.baileyjohanna said:Hi everyone,
I'm writing an article about what parents teach their kids to call their private parts. I'd really appreciate it if you all could let me know what you decided to teach your kids (as well as why). Thanks so much!

Although I feel a little wierded out talking to you's about it...Trina said:I believe the term "vulva" would be more appropriate describing female genitalia.
The vagina is the birth canal, so it's on the inside...not actually the parts that are seen or most readily accessible. My daughters knew vulva, labia, clitoris, AND vagina to describe their "girl parts" in that area....there's not just one name that covers it all.Music-dad said:Although I feel a little wierded out talking to you's about it...
Why is that?, I do recall the Seinfeld episode where he calls the girl Mulva because the girl said her name rhymes with a female body part (her name was actually Delores ...haha)
But other than that, I have never really heard that term before. Maybe it's the medical term?...to tell you the truth, I like the term Vulva, it seems more comfortable to me for some reason...and with a very curious daughter, I know it's gonna be an issue one day soon.
However, I'm curious that I shoud teach her that as the name as apposed to the other V one or the C one that rhymes with Delores ....help?
