also it's not like it's showing anything inappropriate, kids are allowed to know what words mean, and it would be much better if they learn them from a responsible adult (which i imagine should be the parents in most cases) rather than discovering them on their own.
This is very short-sighted. I think kids should not be exposed to those words as they are very inappropriate. I think they should wait until they're older or else they will be very annoying with the word (especially since kids are not known to have the highest IQ). I remember when I was a kid and all the kids said "butt" as if it meant something. That was very annoying. Ipso facto, parents should not be teaching kids that material.
idk if you understood my comment right, but that's the point of responsible parenting, being able to teach your child what to say and what not to say in certain situations.
YUP. Kids are far more likely to report sexual assault if they have an age appropriate understanding of their bodies and what’s ok/not ok touching. Here’s one of a million articles about it, and some important excerpts:
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/rcna26931
“What I saw as a prosecutor was kids who didn’t come forward, or when they did come forward, they would say things like ‘My tummy hurts’ or ‘My tummy itches,’” Bayar said. “What they really meant was their vulva, not their tummy.
Without the correct language for their anatomy, adults don’t understand what children are trying to say.
The goal is to help children recognize and repel predatory behavior by understanding their body’s warning signs of danger.
When kids learn that anything “down there” is shameful, they are less likely to come forward because they’re afraid of getting in trouble for admitting that someone touched them.
I can't tell you how many times I've had this conversation with people. Your kid must always be able to tell you immediately if someone or something has hurt them. Equipping them with the means to do so is a safety check.
You don't need to show them pornography or discuss fetish material to get them a socially-appropriate level of modesty and respect for others.
Wow, imagine doing some, you know: parenting. Can you imagine if you had to hold yourself even the teensiest bit responsible. Really fucking pathetic you sound like you can't manage even that buddy, lol. Like those pathetic dads that refuse to change a diaper.
They are obsessed with IQ, it’s in their comment and their bio. It’s weird and as someone who is in the range their so called score I see a person who is compensating for their intelligence. Their opinions tell me they are not who they are pretending to be.
Just for clarification, not wanting to expose 5 year olds to vibrating butt plugs and artificial vaginas for lonely men to jack off with while they lust after women who were almost certainly molested as children is a low IQ position?
My babysitter thought this way. She threatened to wash my mouth out with soap when I said "wagina" once, never felt comfortable saying it after that- to anyone.
My parents didn't know I was assaulted, daily, in preschool until I told them at 27.
Your reasoning is just ridiculous- you're saying children shouldn't be taught the names of their body parts because they'll be annoying about it?
Evidence shows teaching your children what their genitals are called drastically reduces the chance they'll be assaulted and gives them the words to tell trusted adults if they are.
Not teaching children us dangerous.

And it's not like a 5 year old has the context to understand what any of those words mean.
