My son is uncircumcised and I was worried about how I would teach him about foreskin care. Daddy is uncircumcised as well but since he is at work all day its logically me that ends up with the majority of these discussions. He hasn't let us bath him (we sit with him) for a few months because he doesn't want us touching his penis or his bum (we had the whole your body is private conversation and he took it very literally! 
). Anyways I didn't know how we would know if it was retracted until I noticed the tip of his foreskin was getting red. I told him mommy wanted to check and sure enough its partly retractable. So I just straightforward told him what is was called and how to clean it. He sat there for ages laughing about it because he thought it looked funny when the foreskin retracted. But anyways it was not that hard of a conversation. And to think some people circumcize just because they don't want to teach or worry about foreskin care. My kids don't like to wash behind their ears either, I guess I should have them removed.
