Weird convo... chime in, please?
Ok, so if you're teaching your little girls, and later boys, about the human body. We all teach the boys that they have a penis, but, what do you teach the girls? Do you teach vagina or vulva? Also, does it truly matter?
Sorry, we ALL call it a vagina or vag lol. Most adults would not know what a vulva is, especially men. So vagina is fine for a young age.
@ksmommyx3 @evildrporkchop. It was so confusing, the discussion was about teaching correct names for body parts so that children can explain if something happened to them so all adults would understand them. Someone was telling me that I should teach "vuvla" because it's the correct term, and that it's an issue that female genitalia is often mislabeled 🙄 but the whole thing was to teach little girls so that if they were inappropriately touched, and they explained it to an adult, the adult would understand. I couldn't see what the big deal was teaching vagina, especially if people would understand.
Thank you ❤️ it's crazy, someone was practically arguing with me, saying they should be taught correctly, and vulva is the right word... I'm like, my daughter is 2... lol.
I would probably just teach vagina to start with. There are so many different parts with different names. A very young kid would probably get confused by all of that.
I think it's too confusing for small children too, and we should teach them the correct words, but vagina is fine, everyone knows what a vagina is.
Vagina over here.
