My 2 year old says "What's this?" - pointing to her lady bits.
I am not sure what to tell her.
I don't want her to grow up ashamed etc, though also want to be careful what words I try to teach her.
What are polite words she wouldn't get in trouble for using at school?
What words are considered acceptable for a young girl to use?
There is also a distinct possibiity that she will adopt the word I tell her, but in her own way (she calls her bottom 'bumbie' - which is cute though).
I realise that "fanjo" seems to be popular on Mumsnet but don't think I want her running about saying fanjo... (or is it commonwith littlies?)
Any tips from others who have been down this road?
