How can I teach my toddler about private body parts?

It is never too early to start teaching body safety in a simple, age-appropriate way. Use clear, correct names for body parts and consistently enforce the boundary that certain areas are private and not for touching. If your toddler attempts to touch you or a caregiver inappropriately, stay calm but firm, immediately redirect them, and explain that you do not like that kind of touch. Repetition and consistent, calm reminders are key at this young age.
