I'd like to get a book (preferably one that I can load on my Nook) that explains to toddlers that their bodies are their own and what i************ t******* is and all those kinds of things. Do you have any recommendations? My daughter is 3.

FYI- We're not having ANY problems I just want her to know and understand what's appropriate.

What can I do next?

This is a good, short picture book on the topic:

Your body belongs to you, by Cornelia Spelman

It talks about how only Mommy, Daddy & your doctor are allowed to touch your private areas (as in, covered by your bathing suit), and that you don't always have to or want to hug/kiss/etc. people, even if they want you to. (At least, that is my recollection; we read it over the summer, so my memory is a little fuzzy). Our library carries it, and we will be getting it out multiple times over the next couple of years (he's in preschool now).

Hi, K.:
My concern is trying to teach a 3 y.o. i************ t******* may backfire.
At this age, a child needs alot of attention, hugs and kissess. I would wonder if the child would misinterpret healthy nurture vs i************ t*******.

Just my thoughts.
