Jhinuk MazumdarChowringhee: Children should be taught to name private parts as early as preschool, doctors and teachers said at a workshop on child sexual abuse on Wednesday. Parents and teachers must keep aside their embarrassment and fears and talk to their children, psychiatrist Jai Ranjan Ram said. Parents and teachers need to shed their inhibitions and make the conversation matter of fact. "We begin by identifying body parts by their correct names rather than alternative colloquial short forms. Our discomfort will in turn teach children to be embarrassed about their private body parts," said the leaflet.
