Bath time... 2 yr old?

Question

my son asked me what his p***s was for yesterday... how much should i tell him... just that it gets rid of urine... or would he understand me...

Answer 1

tell him its where his peepee comes out at and then it goes in to the potty

Answer 2

Just tell him its to go pee, my boy is 3 and i've already told him that his "wewe" makes him a boy, and that girls don't have them. tell him as much or as little as you want.

Answer 3

At this age, telling him that it's the place where urine exits the body should be enough. If he asks again when older then explain more. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

the other responders are completely correct! you should divulge information on all topics (s*x included) on an age appropriate level. Your p***s is where the peepee comes out.

hey, this could be a great opportunity to start the potty training talks-if you haven't already!

Answer 5

Tell him that it is where his pee-pee comes out.  That's a totally correct answer and much more applicable to his understanding of bodily functions (i.e. potty training, etc.) than any other use of the p***s.  Later you'll have other talks with him, but you don't need to go into everything with a two year old.

At two, my son knows that "Boys have a p***s, girls have a v****a" (he was in the bath and said, "Danny have a p***s, Daddy have a p***s, Mommy have a p***s?"  and we told him that no, Mommy is a girl and girls have vaginas.  End of story, no need to go into charts and graphs.  He asked for a couple weeks about different people to confirm whether the people he knew were boys and girls and we would answer, "Yes, Grandma is a girl and she has a v****a" or "Yes, he's a boy and so he has a p***s" and that was that.  If you don't make a big deal out of it and answer more than he's asking, you won't get into a problem.  

(He also knows that when he eats and drinks his food goes down into his stomach and out his "tushie hole" and "p***s" into the potty.)

Answer 6

tell him it's to determine boys from girls...lol...

Answer 7

Tell him basically that his p***s is his p***s. Id try not to give it a funny name as that might confuse him later on. Tell him that it allows him to pee. Nothing else. He is way too young for the s*x talk. Put all this into kid terms that he would understand. This will be much easier when/if he is potty trained because then you can show him that it allows him to pee.
