Hands Down pants!!!!!!!!!!?

I am grateful for the points Reggio has made about how our actions, everything we say and do, with our daycare kids can have impacts that we can't even imagine. While this is something we are all aware of I am sure, in the context of this conversation the point has really given me pause to think.
I have been known to lightheartedly say "oh stinky" at diaper change time with my own daughter. She thinks it's funny and will say it too. I have heard the opinion that we shouldn't say that so the kids don't feel bad about pooping, or feel it is yucky or gross. I always looked at it from the point of view that I don't want to raise a kid who thinks her "s@*t don't stink" so to speak, and thought the whole idea was sort of silly.
While I in no way make fun of, or shame my daughter, Reggio's points about sending the message about privates being "dirty" from a sexuality point of view was something I hadn't even considered. I really want to thank her for sharing her story.
