It teaches a healthy attitude toward the body and protects them because they know the body part to name if someone ever touches them inappropriately. Additionally, it’s not treated as the no-no area or some other name that might make kids feel shameful/uncomfortable about those parts (if the adults are too uncomfortable to name those parts, how can a kid feel safe coming forward about sexual abuse). We give children the proper names for all other body parts, why not these?

My preschooler knows she has a vulva and boys have a penis, she knows that we all have nipples, she knows that she has an anus which is different from the cheeks of her butt.

These are important things to know when you consider the difference between “he touched my butt” and “he touched my anus” or “he touched my no-no area” and “he touched my vulva.” Don’t you think? Plus, I don’t give her cutsey names for any other part of her body, it would be sending her a weird message to do that about only the parts of her body that make me uncomfortable, for some reason or other.

I think listing the other proposed ideas next to this one is confusing people and making them think that all of that will happen in K. They aren’t proposing showing erotic art or talking about intercourse in K.
