Body parts and privacy - what do you teach your 3yo DCs?

[Jacksmybaby]

DS is going through a real phase of being fascinated with private parts and also with all things toilet related! He talks about willies, boobies and noonies all the time, as well as weeing and pooing. He always wants to see or touch mummy and daddy's private parts (e.g. "I want to pull your willy Daddy"!!). He thinks it's very funny to pull down his pants and show people his willy/bottom.

I know that's all perfectly normal but want to guage what people think is an appropriate response / way to teach him.

So far we have said to him: willies, boobies, noonies and bottoms are private. That means we don't touch other peoples', we don't get them out in public and we don't let other people touch ours (unless mummy/daddy etc helping DS wash in the bath / wiping his bottom etc).

Basically I don't want to create taboos and make him think it's all dirty / disgusting etc; but neither do I want him to make embarrassing and inappropriate comments in public and certainly want him to know that other people shouldn't be touching certain body parts of his etc.

I expect I am over-analysing all of this. But would be grateful for your thoughts / experiences.

When he pulls doen his pants to shoe off, look uninterested/ do a "I'm not impressed" face.

If he wants to touch willies and boobies, just say "no thank you, we don't do that to to other people".

Stay as matter of fact as you can.

But what is a noonie?

Thanks.

Noonie = vagina, I know, it's a terrible word, my SIL's suggestion when DH and I were arguing over what we should call it with DS, but we didn't come up with anything better!

I tell mine that they are their privates and must not be touched ever by another person. Of course we say willy, mini, boobies.

My 6 year old is very aware that no one other than him can touch his privates. However, there is a small problem, my DD thinks it's hilarious to pull his willy and he runs around shouting 'No Moo, you are not allowed to touch me, NO NO until we intervene. My DD isn't getting that bit yet.
