private parts in English - for children

[kook1]

How do you call private parts when you talk to children???

In boys that's usually willy.
I don't know about girls, though ;) I haven't spoken with any about this particular issue ;)

You mean you are a man of few words when it comes to that? Or do you just point
your finger and they know whats up? ;-)

Well you'd have to ask my significant other that. I can't quite remember how the siege was actually *laid* ;)) It's all ancient history anyway.

This link is great and really funny, but I still haven't found the answer to my
question:(

[axxolotl]

I guess there is no 'official' name for female private parts that could be used
with children. Come up with your own. Make up a word. And let us know what
it is :)

Pee pee

Would it be OK if I call both man and woman's private parts 'pee pee'???

[jan.kulczyk]

It's fine by me but you should consult it with your partners on a case-by-case basis.

ok, so you call a leg 'a leg', an arm 'an arm', right? why the hell invent some weird names for a penis??
my son is 4 and he can name body parts properly. Mind you, he mentioned to us, that 'girls have
fannies to do wees', and we both had a hard time keeping a straight face. turns out fanny came from
the same little girl at my son's preschool, which called my son a 'f... rascal' once.
Kids will follow your example. If you're inventing funny names for the private parts, they'll figure there's
something wrong in talking about certain parts of the body, and not the others. Which shouldn't be the
case, right? So I suggest just call it as it is, I say !
