Regardless of the names we choose, our kids are bound to say embarrassing things at the wrong time and place. Saying “vagina” and “vulva” can benefit our girls, even as toddlers. Pediatrician Dr. TJ Gold explains that by using the proper terms for private parts, children can identify areas on their body to better explain any issues or problems they may experience. So, say “Vagina” “Vulva” and “Labia” loud and proud.
