Body Awareness

Don't worry about something that may never happen. And if/when it does happen, just say "why yes you DO!" and then move on. Little kids are known for their observation and honesty, nobody's going to be scandalized.

oh, I love this stage! It's so funny! Just be matter of fact with him. Let him loudly proclaim it...if that so happens. It gives everyone a good chuckle! :)

Do you think it will? I don't know - my son made that discovery and we discussed that it's true, but that we don't need to share that information with anyone, and he never did. But if he had, I think we would have had a good laugh and moved on. I don't think I'd worry too much...

I have three sons and....other than your son getting older, nope. :D

(I am laughing at the memories this question brings for me!)

ETA: Next up, poop!

Depends on your child's age. I just told my 7 year old that not everyone needs to be told those things. That such things are personal and private. Some people aren't as comfortable with such things and can even think that those things are inappropriate and sometimes even naughty. Not everyone's parents are comfortable with others telling their children these things, so she's to keep her information to herself. She understands and slips some times, but I try not to make her feel ashamed. I've had to remind her, gently, "Honey, not here, not now.".

For younger little ones, agree and redirect. "Yes, sweetie. Would you like to ride up on daddy's shoulders?"

JFF: My son (11 months) managed to escape his diaper...it was not a clean one. The other day my daughter thought the whole event needed to be told to our friendly waitress. The event happened over a month ago... memory like a steel trap this girl has.

the more you bring it up, the more likely it is to happen. Leave it alone. If he does "inform" the cashier, no big deal. "Kids say the darnest things!"
