re: anatomically correct.

My mom taught me to call my vagina a "moley." I have no idea why though.

Quoting Cowgirl47429:“ Yes I have a 2 almost 3 year old and a 5 year old both that know no one is allowed to touch there ... [snip!] ... to use less "adult" words. Its just plain not dangerous as long as its understandable by you and others to use different terms.”

Do not take what I'm saying out of context. By sex talk at 2-3, I'm not talking about intercourse. I'm speaking soley about teaching them their anatomical parts and responsibility of them. (IE: cleaning them, and who can/can't touch). That's it at that age. I am a firm believer at being honest and answering questions a child might ask, of course, keeping it at their age level. I would be appauled if someone were describing adult activities to a child!

I don't make big deals out about stuff either. I just call it by the name. I mean, you wouldn't telll your kid not to call his head a skull, right? What's the difference, because the genitals are related to sex?

I don't care what you tell your kid to call his/her junk. That's your business and I don't have to raise your child. At the same time though, would you get offended if your kid came home referring to their stuff as penis/vagina?

We were taught pee-pee as kids too. It really made the word vagina/penis hard to say. I felt growing up that those words were comparible to cuss words. Shame shouldn't be associated with anatomy, IMO. That's my experience with it and why I chose to be real with my kids.

Don't take as an attack on you or anything, it's definately not.

We went with boy part and girl part.It just makes it easier later on when explaining why boys and girls are different.

Quoting Irishewwie:“ My mom taught me to call my vagina a "moley." I have no idea why though.”

I learned it as "penis" and "vagina" at 3 when I started asking how my baby brother got in mommy's tummy. But I didn't know about it in any other context, so I thought only grown-ups had penises and vaginas. I had always called my rear end my "bumpy" so I called my private parts my "front bumpy" Then when my brother was born, I found out that the front bumpy on my little brother was actually a penis!

This was my 3-year-old understanding of sex: Daddy's penis fits in Mommy's vagina, then Mommy gets fat and has to go to the hospital. I think that was enough to keep me a virgin until I was 19.

I'm not going to just volunteer the information about sex to a toddler, but if she asks, then it's time to go to the library and find age-appropriate books and explain everything truthfully and technically. But if she wants to call it "vagina" or "privates" or "front bumpy" it's not that serious.

My son also asked how the baby got in me. We just said that daddy put it there. It quenched his knowledge thirst on that question.

Let me say this again. My kids picked what they call their parts THEMSELVES. They picked pee pee because thats what comes out of it.I dont tell them no you cant call it that unless I dont understand what they are talking about. I dont tell my son he cant call it a penis but he chooses to call it his pee pee. He knows what penis means he just doesnt use it. I wouldnt care if he called it his dick. Its his body he can call it what he wants as long as its understandable.

There is nothing in my house that CANT be said unless its in a graphic and adult context. My kids know all the cuss words and they know I dont care if they use them around the house or to our friend who also use them but they have learned when its okay and when its not. They will not cuss to family for instance. They will not cuss to strangers. They can not cuss "TO" us (as in bad atittude or being mean or hurtful). Its a open discussion in our house. As long as we and others can understand I dont care what they call something.

i couldn't say any of your points better myself. lol i am on the same page!
especially this:

Penis and vagina. Though I can't lie, sometimes I say peepee, but just because it makes me giggle.

Quoting Satan:“ i do that to my husband. awwww is your pee pee excited???? heheeeevvvilll.”

My husband like to say as he's going to pee, "Gotta go drain my lizard." Makes me laugh.

Quoting Satan:“ i do that to my husband. awwww is your pee pee excited???? heheeeevvvilll.”

lol i love it when god and the devil can agree. =) haha, but i think it's funny to refrence my fiance's penis to a "pee pee"....never confuse that for "wee wee" though...they don't like that too much. haha

lol that reminded me of the movie How to lose a guy in 10 days where she calls it "princess sophia" and then "craw the warrior king"
