I have a 4 year old daughter and a 4 week old son.
The situation has arisen recently where we (the parents) have needed to discuss our daughter's private front area with her. We decided on the word 'f a n n y', thinking it was a mild term but both sets of grandparents have expressed horror at this (this site asteriks it out too). One Nan said she thinks we should call it a "wee-wee" which I think is ridiculous, while the other Nan said it just never came up what to call it. I don't like the word "vagina" because this refers to the canal, not the front area. "Vulva" and "pudenda" both seem too scientific.
Any ideas? What do/did you call it?
