dd talking about knickers/nipples after 3 days nursery

[familyfun]

dd is 3.2 and started nursery wed, settled after 10 mins and went happily yesterday and today.

she says she plays with the teacher and doesnt know the childrens names yet.

wed she said "i'll make you laugh, i'll show you my knickers". we never say the word knickers at home so i knew she had hard this somewhere else, i told her its rude to show pants in public, she said someone showed their pants to make people laugh and she then said a boy came out the toilet with his pants showing and everyone laughed and the teacher helped him redress so i thought nothibng more of it.

this morning she cuddled me and stroked my breast which i told her not to o as its private, she then did it again, i told her she mustnt touch private parts and mustnt let anyone touch her pivate parts either and she said she as trying to be funny.

she then said shall i put something up my skirt, i said like what and she said dirt so i told her not to be silly.

she then asked if nipples are private parts and i told her yes thay are.she said she was just asking.

me and dp are now panicking that she is suddenly talking in this way? is a child at nursery saying things to be funny and dd is copying? am i being silly and worrying over nothing. she seem happy to go to nursery today and is happy etc at home.

No it's not rude and it's sad to think that it might be thought of as rude or wrong, but in most of the nurseries I have worked in suncream has to be applied before the session by the parent or guardian, and in my DC schools even reception aged children have to apply their own although staff will stop them putting too much on, and tell them to rub it in more etc.

ppeadfruit, you are exactly right there!
They are still babies but my little girl has took on such an adult persona i often think she may be a little woman lol.

just popped back and saw all the responses.
i wasnt concerned with dd using the word knickers, but we say pants at home so i knew she was copying someone else's words. she also knows what nipples are and is allowed to say nipples.
what concerned me was that after attending nursery she was touching me, talking about nipples/knickers/putting things up her skirt and i didnt know who she was hearing this off and whether this is normal 3 year old stuff trying to be funny or was an adult saying/doing anything innappropriate or a child being inappropriate.
maybe i was overreacting but my dds safety is my only concern.
i wouldnt mind nursery changing dds top/trousers if necessary or applying suncream on arms/legs/face (although they dont do this) but i would be surprised if dd said they touched her nipples.
dd hasnt said anything wrrying since so i think she is learning new words and trying to make us laugh which is fine.

With the nipples thing, could it be that she just wanted to touch you for reassurance in a calming soothing way after a tiring day at nursery? My dd did this at such a tiny age and I never saw anything inappropriate in that (after all, some children that age are still being breastfed; breasts don't have a sexual connotation for most 3yos).

But chances are she is copying what she has heard from other children who have older siblings and therefore get more potty talk at home.

not sure cory, she was breast fed till she was 18 months but hasnt ever touched my breasts for comfort, she hasnt done it since. think she is copying other children as most in her class have older siblings.
i know she doesnt think of any body parts as sexual but she does know we have private parts and we dont touch each other or anyone else there. no more problems since thank goodness.
