Body part tips

[jeno]

I am teaching my 22 month old body parts she knows most of the ones she can see but i am stuck on what to call the vagina (aah ) i am trying to think of something not to harsh to call it i have tried saying " your private " but am not to keen . Any ideas ? thank you

Couldn't use flower (even if I wanted to) as my youngest son calls my youngest daughter that - might cause a lot of confusion.

I don't think the word vagina is embarrassing just think it's an ugly sounding word.

Mini..

[boxtops]

why mini though, that makes mini skirt sound not very nice...

[Answerprancer]

Imagine in later life though, sherrard "Some FLOWER just cut me up on the roundabout!!"

[Prudie]

I said mini too maggie only because I think I've heard it used in that way before (maybe from the states?)

[maggie21]

dunno its always been called mini.

[Prudie]

As opposed to 'some penis just cut me up on the roundabout' AP - LOL

[maggie21]

I rather think todger is more appealing then penis |-P

[madmondeo]

we call it a gash

her vagina is inside her - why does she need to know the name of body parts she can't see - are you teaching her liver, kidneys and spleen?

My 6yr old calls it a toot! This came from her cousins. Tinkle is quite common too (or so I am told) I wouldn't really focus on the area anyway its not necessary yet lol.

At 22months, do you have to give it a name?

I was thinking the same thing. At 22months, I was still trying to get my son to sleep at night - naming bodyparts was well down on the list. ha ha ha

Good Luck though...

I believe in using the correct terms which, in this case, is 'vulva'

[Sqad]

vulva and vagina are different bits.

Flue

chuffbox?

I don`t remember my mother calling it anything. I heard someone call it a twinkle once which I thought was OK. Madmondeo - you have been reading too many Viz magazines

My daughter has taught her little girl to call it a woowoo.

My girls were taught to call it a fanny.
