Do you want your child to refer to their private parts by their real names?

I wouldn't teach my son to call his body parts by anything other than what they are, especially a food name! He is 2 yrs old and knows what every body part of his is.

My mother always taught me to call your privates by the right name not all those made up names ... I have heared a lot of names though I do have a favorite one and it's a girls "cookies" - but I won't tell that to my daughter or son... I'll call it what it is ....

I agree and we try to tell her, she just won't listen. Thanks for your comment.

I think that they should use the correct word, or they will have hangups. My mother used stupid words, and I have difficulty saying the words now. It is very uncomfortable.

I think calling it by a name of a food is a little weird. They can always just say "pee pee" or "wee wee".

I wouldn't call them a food name. I just call it "pee pee" for my son because I wouldn't want him going to school saying you know what.

I would prefer that my daugter call her private parts by their real names, I think it's better in the long run!

I'm not sure a food word is the best way to go. We don't use the proper terms, but pretty close.
