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 !

Re: Have you got a dood...
I've been thinking about this question for a bit. I imagine that your daughter has picked up on the idea that this is an uncomfortable topic, and that's why she's doing it. I have two boys - a four year old and a three year old, who have noticed the difference between themselves and their sisters. They sometimes will tell me in a matter-of-fact way what their sisters don't have.
At three, my son doesn't really get the idea of manners (he's starting to do polite things as told, but doesn't understand why), but at four, my older son does, and can be taught what is good manners and what isn't. If you tell your daughter that it's not manners to talk about those things to other people, because they might be uncomfortable, she might understand. I'd not make it a taboo topic at home, but help her to see the difference in at home talk and out/visiting talk. Also, don't get flustered or upset when she does ask about it, because that will make it a game for her. Keep it matter-of-fact, short and sweet, only answer what she asks and don't elaborate, or you may give her more ammunition. The rest of that conversation can be had as she grows and when you decide she's ready for it.
