Why Teach Children the Names for Their Genitals?

Experts agree that teaching your child the proper names for genitals is important.

Teaching children the proper names for genitals:

  • promotes a positive body image

  • lays the foundation for future talks between parents and their children

  • helps protect children from sexual abuse

How Does
Your Whole Body
Help?

Even though a lot of parents have heard that they should use the proper names for genitals when talking to their children, many (myself included!) have a hard time saying words like vulva, penis, and nipple out loud, especially to our kids! It can feel uncomfortable or wrong. 

Experts recommend using diaper changes, potty training, and bath time as opportunities to use the proper names, and advise parents to say things like "right now, I'm wiping your anus..."

If you have a hard time imagining yourself saying that, you're probably in the majority. For a lot of parents, following these recommendations is difficult.

This is where Your Whole Body comes in. Your Whole Body provides parents with a script and helps normalize saying these words out loud.
