Recommendations for teaching toddlers about private parts and keeping their bodies safe? 1yr boy and 3yr girl

Trigger warning for CSA no judgements please. I was a victim of CSA and incest which has made it very hard to me to trust my own judgements in how to properly teach them to keep their bodies safe. I get very anxious around the topic and end up avoiding it or keeping it very brief. I don't think I'm able to teach them by just talking to them, I'm looking for recommendations for maybe books, songs, or anything that can help me get through the subject with them because even googling and looking for myself makes me feel uncomfortable and uneasy, I'd feel better just looking into what other parents recommend.

There are a series of books called First Conversations and one is about consent. It's a good one to have in general but would definitely be useful to you I think!

The infamous tea video! A lot of schools use it to teach consent. It doesn’t necessarily explain anything sexual, rather the idea that it’s ok to say no. If you google “tea consent video” it should come up.

This is gonna make me sound crazyy

So this is gonna make me sound crazy but it really bothered me, lol. My husband works pest control. He only has a work phone so his personal number at work is my number. Sometimes his boss will call my number on accident but usually all communication goes through work phone. I get a call today from a woman he works with, didnt know that's who it was. She works in office,been there maybe 1.5 months, but has tagged along with him once. They didnt even talk according to him. So I text the number because I dont answer numbers I don't know and this is what she says. The"wow didnt even save my number" REALLY bothered me because it just felt a little too friendly in my opinion. Idek what I'm looking for with this post but I have no friends. I asked my husband about it and he basically just cussed me out telling me its nothing etc and ignored me all day so. Then turned his location off. That just made me spiral. I know I'm way overthinking it but idk.🙃 To add, i already have a tough spot for this girl because before they even met she was texting him "I can't wait to meet you! I hear you're amazing" Which he told me nothing of. 🙃

Weaning - how much do they eat?

Hey ladies,
We started on purees with my 6mnth old baby about 10 days ago, but she seems to be totally uninterested, maximum 2-3 spoonful of puree each day. How is it going for others?

Having trouble finding joy

I’m having trouble finding joy in motherhood lately. Maybe I’m just totally burnt out.

My son is 2. I feel bad, but I’m tired of being his entertainment. I’m tired of playing all the time. I’m tired of going to the park. Im tired of cleaning up the same messes 5x a day. Going out to stores is exhausting because he doesn’t like it.

I feel like I don’t even know what I like doing anymore because I’ve just been a mom for the last two years. I have zero friends.

It’s exhausting. I have trouble even getting myself ready each day.
How do I find my joy again? I want to enjoy playing and going to the park but I feel like I just don’t have anything else to give.
