[quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP.  Not a crazy judge-r here, but I am a pre-K teacher.

I do _not_ think it's odd that the children have seen each other's private parts, but I _do_ think it's odd that the children have noticed.  Not so odd that I'm necessarily concerned.  We have one bathroom and the sink is in the bathroom and like it or not there is often more than one child in there at a time, as long as both children are okay with it.  Most of the time they don't pay any attention to what the other does or doesn't have between his or her legs -- they're just doing their business and getting back to playing.

I would handle it basically the same way you did.  I would tell my child that different people have different bodies and making fun of them is wrong and rude.  I would give him some words to tell the other kids if it happened again ("I don't like it when you tease me" or "Please don't say kind words.")

If you do choose to bring it up with the teacher, I would bring it up the same way you would bring up any other concerns of teasing.  Your child reported that he had been teased and you'd like the teacher to be aware of it.  I don't think the body part being teased is all that relevant necessarily (although it could potentially be).

I don't think the issue is that the children have seen each other's privates.  The issue is that there's teasing.[/quote]
