I’m a child expert - why you should never use the word ‘willy’ or ‘foo-foo’ for your kids’ private parts

ANSWERING some of the many questions children have can be a little awkward.

With the majority of the words we use to describe them highly inappropriate for youngsters, and the biological terms sounding very formal and grown-up, many people opt for a softer version.
