IT CAN BE tricky to teach kids about their bodies.
A lot of parents don’t know how to approach the discussion.

This educator took to TikTik to help parents in the form of a popular song.
Holly-Ann specailly trains and educates parents about safeguarding children and shared the strange song with her followers.
The rhymer changed the words to the children’s classic ‘head, shoulders, knees and toes.
Adding in the lyrics: “Penis on most boys, vulva on most girls, bop down, stand up, do a little twirl.”
She implored parents: “Teach kids the names of their private parts.”
Her bizarre video caught their attention and has amassed over 400k views.
Some parents loved the remix for the song and were quick to praise Holly-Ann’s efforts.
“Thank you for this! We need to normalise using these words to protect our little ones,” one said.
Another said: “I love the correct terms and the use of ‘most’.”
“Anyone else shocked at this it’s because they weren’t ever made comfortable with it, and it’s so important,” one parent commented.
And another said: “I was so impressed with a four-year-old who said the correct names to me once, all children should know the real words!”
Not everyone loved the song though: “I’m not going to be singing a song about private parts, it’s not necessary.”
A seconded shared: “It’s all fun and games until they sing this at nursery and get mocked to the depths of hell.”
Another quipped: “Absolutely not.”
“Is it just me that find this odd? I get teaching children the correct terms, but I think this is a bit too far,” a confused parent confessed.
