BODY EXPLORATION: Kids touching or rubbing their genitals - this topic is our most frequently asked question.🤔 Specifically, the main question is how can you speak into this behavior WITHOUT shaming your young child? TONE OF VOICE is crucial. We encourage parents to use the same tone of voice they would if their kid was picking their nose. ☝🏼👃🏼✨ Focus on MANNERS, HABITS, and HYGIENE. We want parents to remain calm, be matter of fact, and move one. ✨“Get your hands out of your pants please. Remember, we want to keep our hands clean and that is where we go potty. Come on, let’s go wash our hands.”“Oh let’s not touch your penis please. Our hands have a lot of germs on them and we want to be careful with our private parts.”“Let’s leave your vagina alone please. It’s not polite to touch or rub your private parts in front of other people. Come over here and help me carry this.” ✨You might have these brief conversations often - and that’s okay! ✨🐝 Want more talking tips and sample scripts? Our online course is here to help!
