What should my 6 year old daughter be calling her pirate parts?

i have been geting her 2 use the word flower and boobs ,she has asked why are boys not the same as her i said they have a pea pea and she has a flower

What should my 6 year old daughter be calling her pirate parts?
I like the pee pee and flower terms. There are many to chose from out there, but those are good to my ears.


Just don't teach your kids to call it something RELY weird. My best friend has her son trained to say "I gotta go turtles" when he hasta poop... weird I say!
Reply:Use the correct terms.





You don't make up words for her elbow or nose do you?





Show her that you can be mature and trusted for accurate information. This will pay off as she grows and has more questions.
Reply:teaching your children the right names for body parts is important for development, call them what they are...a vagina and a penis...!!
Reply:My daughter is five and she calls her vagina her tuppy, short for tuppence - its what I called mine when I was little apparently, and as for boys bits, she calls it what it is - a willy.
Reply:private parts. I believe in calling them what they are (vagina, penis) but my stepdaughter (shes 7) got in trouble at school, the social worker talked to us and said its not an appropriate word, they have to call them private parts
Reply:It's a vagina. They are breasts. Boys have penis'. It's really not that difficult. Let her know the terminology and if she wants to pick out a nickname for privates, let her. My son knows he has a penis but he calls it his pee-pee. That's his deal.
Reply:Teach her the correct adult words. This will make it normal for her to have adult conversations when she gets older. If you teach her silly names for her anatomy now, she will be never feel comfortable using the appropriate words when she is older.
Reply:get a book from the library to help explain thimgs to her. if she is asking the questions, then you should at least give her the answers. her private bits, as you put it , is her vagina. credit her with some intelligence.
Reply:Most people including adults have pet names for their "bits" It's a bit off putting to refer to penis and vagina in the middle or a heavy petting session, willie %26amp; woosie, sad but nicer,or pick your own. but seriously safest bet if you 6 year old asks what they are called, don't make a big thing of it tell her the proper names.
Reply:Assuming you mean private parts, what's wrong with their proper names? You can tell her other people sometimes call them whatever you like, but for god's sake is it any wonder kids get confused about this stuff?
Reply:Teach her to call them what they really are,Stops confusion later on.
Reply:lol...pirate parts ..... use the word 'booty'. Seriously though, if you mean private parts, just use the correct words - breasts, penis, vagina, etc. Making up euphanisms doesn't do anyone any good, and only teaches them that those words are 'dirty' and shouldn't be used. It would also be really embarrasing if she started using the words 'flower' and 'pee pee' when she was talking with her friends. I know she's too young for that now, but just be honest with her.
Reply:either pus sy or coochie
Reply:She should use the proper names. God forbide anyone where to touch her flower, the cops aren't going to be able to put together a good case without knowing what her flower is. A judge and jury will have a harder time convisting someone for touching a girls flower than touching a girls vagina. I have attended trainings on this matter recently and strongly believe that proper terms need to be taught to all children.
Reply:i think you should use the correct words. I mean seriously it isnt right too tell her different words. I know she is too young for it know but when she gets older and is in health class, and theyy say penis, vegina, boobs, etc. The she will end up saying the words you taught her. She will be emberresed. I wouldnt lie too her know. There is know point.
Reply:Penis, vagina and breasts are not rude words. Please tell her the correct terms, you aren't a bad mother if you do you know.
Reply:I knew correct terms when I was 6, but maybe she'll get in trouble at school.





My nephew calls his penis a "tail" and my niece calls her bits her "fan"





I think if flower works for you, then go for it. As long as she knows the terminology, whatever she wants to call her bits is up to her.
Reply:Girlie bits and boy bits.......but the real names are appropriate I think You can tell her the reall terms and then you can use nicknames as well.
Reply:Long John Silver perhaps








Oh! sorry her Private Parts - Oooops
Reply:You could call it the Jolly Roger if you have mis-spelled otherwise keep it in adult terminology to avoid confusion.
Reply:i just told my girls they were called tuppences now older they call them fangitas
Reply:They are called a vagina and a penis. I think children should be taught the actual names for their body parts. This helps in body awareness and makes it not to taboo.
Reply:how about: dingaling and jacko?
Reply:I think it is best for her to be calling them the proper names. Nothing is wrong with chest, nipples, breast. I think she should know that a boy part is a penis, girl is vagina, but sometimes it's easier to say "crotch."


The terminology is anatomically correct and doesn't make her think it is wrong to say the correct word. Don't give the "words" mystery or embarassment. They are just words, same as pee pee.


Of course let her know that since they are the more private parts of the body (the parts that should be covered by a swimming suit or underwear) we don't just go around saying them.
Reply:Thanks for calling my mother a liar.....she always told me that I have a Bumble bee that will eventually polinate all the flowers. So if I were you I would change that Flower word you are teaching your daughter.
Reply:I totally agree with what Debra wrote. If, God Forbid, she is ever victim to a child molester, it will be better all around if she is able to tell an adult that so and so touched her vagina rather than her flower, so that it will be properly understood.
Reply:How quaint. How about p.enis for a boy and privates for a girl.
Reply:don't know suse
Reply:I would say flower lol! Theres nothing wrong with it, she won't get confused. She'll work out for herself soon enough that it is only a nickname.
Reply:my 2 year old uses "minnie moo" and "boobies" ha ha!





if she sees her brother naked she uses "hee hee" lol
Reply:Captain Jack??? lol


No, i think flower and that are fine.
