Kid-Friendly Words
What ‘kid friendly words’ do you use in replacement of others?
Here are some examples we do
Poo - Dingles
Fart - Stinky
Vagina - Lady Bits
Penis - Boy Bits
Sex - Bonking
(Side note we say these to our 4mo daughter who doesn’t understand what we are saying anyway)
Okay edit does everyone who is commenting. I was sexually assaulted by my father at 3-4 years old. One of the events is one of my earliest memories. At the police station they made me colour in a diagram so there was no confusion. Honestly this was quite upsetting having it bought up by everyone in the comments :/ I feel like a lost a lot of my childhood from the experience and process afterwards. In my experience, the good social workers and police try to be very accommodating and gentle and understand the child fully no matter what words they are using.
Also, my husband is a medical professional. He either says fm or sh*t, he never says poo. I wouldn’t say either to a kid. So dingles is what we say. There’s a million different words for fart/pop off etc and nobody I know says flatulence. Also I’m never going to say ‘oh you got poo in your vagina + labia + vulva + upper thighs’ and vagina is not actually an all encompassing term. Lady bits just encompasses everything nicely.
