Hoo-Hoos and Tu-Tus

During my lazy Sunday afternoon blog reading extravaganza, I came across a blog entry on correct terminology and anatomy. The blogger, Suburban Turmoil, does not believe in teaching her young child correct terminology for g*enitalia as to avoid embarrassing public moments.
To your surprise, I have a strong opinion on this subject.
From the beginning, I have taught my kids correct terminology regaring their g*enitals. They both know the words p*enis, v*agina, and n*ipples.
I have had some embarrassing moments because they know the words, but they are kids and if they weren't giving anatomy lessons to my neighbors, it would be something else.
Would you call your elbow or chin a woo-woo or hoo-hoo? I think not.
I didn't not want to teach my children shame when it comes to their "private parts". I think that when you do not call it the right name, you are teaching an element of shame. Also, we started talking early to our kids about people touching their "private parts". In order to correctly do that, we need to used correct terminology.
I want my kids to learn this information from us. I want to give them the correct information before they hear the incorrect or graphic version on the bus. (most kindergartners ride the bus with kids as old as 10 and 11...what do you think they hear?) I learned about sex in first grade from a boy who most likely had older siblings. Remember that was in 1981.
I think you must talk early, talk graphically, and talk often about sex, g*enitals, etc. If you don't, someone else will.
(the astrics are to keep those words from coming up in search engines).
