DD was barely 4yo when I took a mirror and showed her "down there." She was red in places she should be pink (or brown). She's aware of her "button" because it tickles when I lift her in the shower and have her spread her legs to clean off the soap. She's giggled about it since, but was so solemn as I explained the different parts. Explaining to DS, however, that Mommy and the Doctor can look at his penis, but he should only play with it in private...well, that took a bit more convincing. We ascribe sexual value to this area, when it really does more than that, right? I don't know why we aim of our children to be ignorant about the things we entrust them to protect. Age-appropriate explanations? Sure. Not discussing it? What's the natural outcome there? No bueno.

Sorry your mom didn't validate your lady bits, PP. I'm sure you've got that pretty much handled now. Let's save our DDs the experience of figuring it out on their own (or through the fumblings of n equally-ignorant partner down the road.)
