Teaching Your Children the Actual Terms for Their Private Parts
It is much cuter for a young child to use terms like peepee or weiner than it is for them to use terms like vagina and penis, however teaching your children these terms may protect them from falling victim to a predator. I am not suggesting that they use these terms all the time, just that they are aware of them. Be aware that these words may come out of your child at some inopportune moments like in front of their grandparents or loudly at a fancy restuarant. Believe me when I say "been there, done that". I think that increasing your child's safety is well worth a little embarrassment.
