Re: Have you got a dood...
Yep have to agree with soozntone
Don't make a big deal of it because kids have a sense for things that sound like no go zones it only makes them more curious.
Be matter of fact ! Use the same tone that you would when explaining anything else she might ask.
Perhaps try " it's not a dood it's a penis and boys have a penis, girls have a vagina, so you and mummy have a vagina and daddy has a penis" .
kepp it simple and honest ! Kids sem to have a radar for parents trying to avoid a topic. Of course you don't have to go into great detail at 4 , but neither should you try avoiding it either.
Perhaps use the discussion to say to her your vagina is a private part and we don't talk about it outside the house. But you can come and tell mummy and daddy if anyone touches your vagina because mummy and daddy would like to know if that happens.
it's not too early to give her the tools to help keep her safe !
