So there’s this debate going on, on fb on a mom group. We agree that children should know their…

I think by their sctual name too

My daughter knows the difference. We refer to it generally as vagina.

I just actually read it all and thats ridiculous. Call it a vagina. Want to be technical, they'll learn it eventually

The whole “call it by it’s name” is to prevent or help to prevent child abuse. Calling a vagina “cookie” to your kid...if something AWFUL happened. Nobody is going to know what she’s talking about with “cookie”. Not a single person is going to mistake what a vagina is if the child means her labial folds instead 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I think it’s an unreasonable distinction to expect little kids to differentiate between anyways. I assume they are talking small children here. “These flaps here? Vulva. The inside your hole here? Vagina”.

You introduce to them these technical terms when they’re able to see the difference. Small children as long as they know that’s their vagina.

are these seriously what people argue about? lol Oh my, but I agree with @squishymommy1 on using the term vagina or vulva either way we're going to know what it meant over the horrible term "cookie"

I think keep it simple for kids. You will always have some over the top debate on fb anyway.

(It reminded me of this movie as well)

I have always thought teaching little kids vagina is a little premeditated. My daughter knows what her vulva is

We just say vagina unless they need to say vulva specifically.
