- We describe (for both the son and the daughter) the parts of the body
- down there as private parts. Our litany is "private parts are for
- private places." This includes grabbing and/or exposing private parts,
- including (for us) running around naked.

- This has worked very well for us. Of course, Tim hasn't ever really
- grabbed his penis in public. He's much to interested in scratching
- the eczema he inevitably gets on his bottom. And he tends to put his
- finger in his anus when he thinks he needs to poop ... oh joy. Which
- is more socially unacceptable, masturbating in public or putting
- your finger up your anus in public?
-
- FYI, our daughter also doesn't show any strong interest in her private
- parts, either ...
