A podcast for parents regarding the health and wellness of their children.
Toddlers and private parts privacy
No Description
On this episode of Monday Mornings with Dr. Mona, a mother of a 2.5 year old calls in to ask if it’s normal that her son doesn’t want anybody looking at his genitalia during bath time/diaper changes.
I discuss how to balance body autonomy with the need for parental monitoring/intervention. I also discuss why body autonomy is important AND why we should be teaching children from a young age about normal anatomical names for genitalia.
