Names for privates?

Help me out here, until now Hannah has basically had a "front bottom" and a "back bottom". Now DH wants to take her to the next step but he's teaching her that the front is called the vagina. I don't want her to start coming out with random "touching my vagina" comments that could get taken the wrong way! What do you teach your girls to call their "front bottoms"?

So do you call all of the front pelvis the vagina? Bearing in mind that the vagina is only a small (and invisible) part of that?

"fanny" and "diddle"

It's still a front bottom here, she knows the real names but it seems a bit clinical to call them that in conversation.
Not like we have conversations about them or anything lol...

I'm just trying to imagine a conversation where I would have to distinguish the different parts, I haven't crossed that bridge yet (not even with my niece who's now almost 8). No doubt you'll all here about it if/when I do.

only got a boy so its a woodle here but he doesnt talk yet so we haven't really had to think about it yet

yep fanny and bottom here. although, we have been reading the folk of the faraway tree lately and when we first began reading it paris was near in hysterics when i said what the kids names were because of courses there is a girl named fanny to which she said "why would her mum call her THAT?!" it was quite funny.

We don't have big conversations, but i feel with her reaching school age, and going to a big school in the middle of town, that i need to be teaching her a bit more about keeping herself safe, there used to be the great programme that went round kindys.. they haven't come to our daycare.

So we have always talked about good surprises, ie- ones that make you feel nice and happy etc, like birthdays, those are ones that are ok to keep. but secrets, or bad secrets that make her feel yucky are not ok to keep etc.. and we have gone through just in passing conversations about good touch and bad touch. I definately think there comes a stage where they need to learn that not all people out there are good, and that they need to be able to keep themselves safe and know the difference between what's ok and what's not, and that may just extend to some silly kid showing their privates at school, or to something more icky.. but very important i think. So the girls known the technical terms, but they just use the slang.

he he - lady parts!! SOrry that just made me giggle. Front bottom here too. Will teach her proper names when she is a bit older, as I can just see her talking about it at the most embarrassing time now - like on the weekend at the Warehouse waiting in line I said we had some peas to plant in our garden, to which she replied very loudly "beans make you fart aye mum?!" Yeah thanks for teaching her that dad! Sorry a bit OT there...

Ella calls vaginas 'giney' and penises are 'doodle' or just penis.

"Bum" for her backside and "gina" for her front - that's 'gEYEna' (like eyeball) rather than the girls name!
