I am doing potty training for my girl, and she keeps playing with her front private part before/after pee pee at potty. I tell her to stop it for hygiene purpose, and it is often a bit redness/wrinkle down there. I have applied aquhapor, the redness improve a bit but not the skin wrinkle part. I have tried to wipe her lightly. Any tips? What do you call that front private part, vulva? It sounds not cute and difficult to pronounce.
For my boy, I called "wee wee". Any cute name for litylr girl part for potty training phase? |

If you must use a euphemism, why not "bottom"?
I only have boys, but we just said "penis". |

| At that age I just call the whole thing a vagina even though technically that part is the vulva or labia. |

| I don't get it. Her labia has redness and wrinkles? Have you never seen labia before? They can extend outside the vulva. |

| You call it what it is. Her vagina. And your son has a penis, not a wee wee. It’s important kids know the correct terminology so they can communicate to you what’s going on if something ever happens. |

| vagina for DD, penis for DS. we are bilingual so use the proper `nouns in both languages. Why is this so difficult? |

Why do you want to nickname her vagina?

| You are supposed to use the real term for parts now. No nicknames. |

+1 to calling it what it is. Why do you need a “cute” name for body parts? Also as a PP pointed out, it’s really important that they know the correct names for their genitalia in case (God forbid) they were to be touched inappropriately there. Here’s an article with more information: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/31/well/family/teaching-children-the-real-names-for-body-parts.html
“There are several reasons it’s important for young children to learn the anatomically correct terms for their genitals, Dr. Wurtele said. Knowing the terminology may make children less vulnerable to sexual abuse; prospective offenders may understand that children who are comfortable with the right names for body parts are children whose parents are willing to discuss these subjects, and children who probably will have been told about the kinds of touching that are not O.K.” |

| Vulva. This is so crazy to me, use the right terminology OP. |

| Penis and vagina (22 month old b/g twins who just potty trained) or collectively “bum and bits” when washing. We don’t use anus but probably should. |
