Why Don't We Want Others to See Our Private Parts?
Tell your kid
Because we use them for things we don't do in public, like going to the
bathroom -- that's why we call them private parts. It's also why we
cover them with a swimsuit at the pool or close the door when we use the
potty. We don't show our private parts to anyone except Mommy and Daddy
or a trusted adult, like a doctor in her office. If someone tries to
touch them or makes you uncomfortable, please tell me.
What you should know "This is a great chance to model a calm, normalized attitude about the body," assures family therapist Hal Runkel, author of ScreamFree Parenting,
so remain matter-of-fact. Young kids lack inhibition, he explains, so
take this opportunity to set some safe boundaries about what body parts
are off-limits to outsiders.
