She's a typical child! She's at the age where she's figured out that there is a physical difference between girls and boys and is trying to see what the differences are. If she's ever seen a boy her age or younger naked, she knows the difference, but when she saw you, it made her more curious. You and her mother need to sit her down and explain to her that since you are not a child, certain body parts are larger, just like she doesn't have breasts like her mother yet. Then let her know that it's not right for her to be seeing those parts of anyone because those parts are private. Answer all of her questions honestly and in terms she can understand. This situation has just opened the door to you and her mother for a wonderfully open honest view of life. If you continue to answer her questions, she'll be more likely to talk to you and her mother about sex and will be more likely to listen to you both when she's older.

Many daughters have brothers close to the same age and know what a penis is. It is very different from telling them about sex. The body is a very natural thing and nothing to be ashamed of.
However I try not to allow my daughter to see mine so I would not advise you to show your daughter yours. Explain what it is, use the right word for it and tell her it is a private part of your body but nothing to be ashamed of. If she never quits I guess you could show her once more or get a book to show her (science book) then tell her to stop asking.
If she is smart like my little girl she will leave it alone.
Good luck.

I wouldn't take my child back there. If they were properly supervising the kids, that would never have occurred! No offense, but your husband sounds like an insensitive moron. I am mostly concerned about why a 5-year-old cannot control her bladder and bowels yet. Surely, if she asked permission to use the restroom, she would have been allowed to go. If not, that place needs to be shut down. Neither of my kids had an accident past age 3.

I'd try a little sex education. Get a child's book with cute cartoon illustrations, I know they exist somewhere. Tell her that those areas are private for both boys and girls and that asking to see is not nice. This will probably prevent her from playing doctor with other kids too. Be sure to not act as though she is doing something horribly wrong in asking to see, but that it isn't polite. The book, however she can look at all she wants.

Tell her it is not appropriate to ask to see your penis. It sounds like it is a good time for the talk about private areas. Your penis is private and her vagina is private and that no one except the doctor or mommy should ask to see it, touch it etc. Don't be embarrassed, I mean we were born naked. Good luck, I had a very curious and very smart little girl once.

Explain that parts of the body are private. Then, go to the library or book store and find a book at her age level that teaches about the human body.
She is just curious, and the more "off limits" you make something, the more she'll want to know about it. If you treat it as something normal, it will become less interesting to her.

Tell her that boys and girls are made differently and that it's wrong for them to show each other their parts. Of course, later, when she's older, she'll learn that it's acceptable in the bedroom, but for now, she doesn't need to know that.

Do not make this into a bigger issue than it really is. If the matter is broached again, tell her it is a private part and not something you show other people.

DOn't show it to her but explain that it's your privastes ( or pee-pee )or what ever you call it in your house, tell her your a boy and she's a girl and we don't show eachother these thing unless we are married and your not married to her so you can't show her. My daughter is 2 and sees her younger brothers in the tub she knows thats his pee-pee and she can't touch it.
