What do you call your LO's bits?

[Californication]

Correct terms will be taught in this house because they are just words and body parts. Nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Also for to afford them more protection against abuse. They need to be able to say the words if the worst was to happen. It means that there is no way there is a misunderstanding of what is happening.

Though having said that DS is 2 1/2 and knows it as his doodle. But most people would know what a doodle was. We also say penis, but doodle is what he recognises it as.

I personally prefer the term 'Vajingo', aka Elliot style (from Scrubs). It makes it sound... sparkly

I am a big believer in using the correct terms for the correct body parts, so it will be vag1na, pen1s, and chest for our DD. I will also teach her about her body and appropriate touch, and that there are some parts of the body that are more private than others, etc, so when she is older, I'll tell her that she can call them girl bits/ boy bits if she prefers to do so - for example, if telling her teacher, where she got hit by a ball in the playground. However, I do believe it is important that she refers to and understands correct body terms first.

I call my son's penis his penis.

"X, when you finish doing a wee you need to shake your penis"

When he pointed to my vagina in the bath and said 'poo' I said "no, that's where mummy does wee's" and that was it. If he asked I'd call it my vagina.

It works well for us.

Actually the part you're drying is your vulva. The vagina is inside.

Well I think DS is a bit young to get that technical. I also just say "mummy's boobies" and not breasts and nipples.

And I meant he does it as a dry my hair.... On top of my head. I have to shoo him away to dry the rest of me.
