🧠 Curious kids ask big questions about bodies…

“Mum, do all vulvas look the same?”

“Why does he have a penis and I don’t?”

When body curiosity kicks in, kids need accurate answers - not awkward ones. But finding illustrations that are age-appropriate, diverse, and not too medical? That’s a tall order.

That’s where Your Body: An Illustrated Guide for Kids comes in.

A shame-free tool to help you talk about bodies (your way)

This illustrated digital guide helps you start body conversations with confidence – whether you're naming genitals, answering questions about gender, or simply showing what real bodies look like.

Created by sex educator and nurse Cath Hakanson, this flexible resource empowers you to teach the right information, at the right time – in a way that suits your child’s age, curiosity, and your family’s values.

Here’s how it helps you (and your child):

Teach body parts clearly with anatomically correct images
Show that every body is different – and that’s a good thing
Have honest conversations without shame, over-sharing or cringe
Help your child understand which parts are private – and why
Reduce curiosity-driven touching or “showing” between friends
Feel confident knowing you’ve given them the right info

What’s included:

33 digital illustrations of diverse naked bodies (external + internal)
Labelled AND unlabelled diagrams of genitals and internal organs
Drawings representing different ages, body types, genders and skin tones
Parent guide to help you know what to say (and how much to explain)
Access via mobile-friendly web app + downloadable PDF
Printable format for on-the-spot learning
Nothing physical will ship – digital product only

Worried about saying too much? You’re still in control.

You choose the images. You choose the words. You choose when and how to start.

Whether your child is 3 or 11, this resource grows with them. Start with the basics now, and revisit later when they’re ready to learn more.

Still feeling unsure? You’re not alone – many parents are uncomfortable naming body parts or showing pictures. That’s why the guide comes with a step-by-step parent section to support you through it. It's one of the many activities for children you'll find inside the Sex Ed Shop.

Give your child the body knowledge they need – in a safe, age-appropriate way.

You’ll also find:

Close-up views of each body part
Labelled and unlabelled versions
A gentle, consistent layout that supports visual learners

Plus, you can choose how much or how little to show at once – which is helpful for kids who get overwhelmed by too much information at once.

Different skin tones
Various body types, ages and sizes
Penises with and without foreskins
Vulvas with different shapes and appearances
Gender-neutral and non-identifying bodies

There’s also a “draw your own” page, so children can personalise a body if they don’t see themselves represented.

This resource is designed to help all children feel seen, respected, and empowered to learn about their body in a shame-free way.

❓Still have a question?
Just click the chat button in the bottom corner of your screen and ask away – I’m happy to help 😊What if I feel awkward talking about genitals?

Insighful and soooo helpful

Insighful and soooo helpful

Perfect guide for talking to kids

This helped me so much when talking to my 6 year old who had lots of questions about how "babies get into a belly". This guide gives many different ways to speak about sex depending on your familes views and values. It gives you a way to speak about as many or as few details as you are comfortable with or that you think your kid is ready for. I appreciate how well written and thought out this was. I'll be using it in the future for more open talks with my children.

Thankyou Cath

As a practitioner working in this space, coming across this course for free and being able to share it with parents and staff, was just the cherry on top of visiting Cath's website. Thankyou for your accessible, compassionate and colourful approach!

A very useful course, thank you!

My daughter is 6 years old. Masturbation is a delicate subject and it is not easy to talk about it with friends or family, even with the doctor, because masturbation in young children triggers alarms and they think there may be abuse. So I thank you for this course, so well explained. My mother tongue is not English, but this course explains things clearly, in a simple and practical way, with tips and resources. With this course I understood that masturbation in young children is not so rare, I learnt how to deal with it and I felt understood and relieved knowing that there are more parents worried about this. Again, thank you.

wish i purchased this sooner

after a small incident with my 2 & 4 yr old, I purchased this course to learn how to approach teaching my kids about consent and to better understand what I should actually be concerned about. After this course, I purchased a few books that were recommended and will be having regular discussions with both my kids about body curiosity

Incredibly helpful resource

This is such essential reading, even if you do not think this is an issue for your kids in the moment, because it normalizes behaviors that to the untrained may seem problematic!

Just what I needed!

I was putting off the porn chat as I was worried about how I'd answer any questions! But now I don't have to, as it's in this book!

the reassurance I needed!

I've got a kid who is starting to ask lots of questions. This has been a lifesaver, as it's allowed me to answer their questions. But more importantly, it's shown me how to talk about these things in a way they understand

I love the illustrations

My kids are super curious about where babies come from, so I grabbed this to help me explain. The illustrations at the back are great, as I they helped me to explain. and answer their questions. Thank you!!!!!!!

Great product- non judgemental, friendly delivery

I recently purchased the getting started with sex ed course and was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of doing a big awkward talk like I feared, I’d already been doing a lot of the little conversations about bodies, feelings, consent etc with my kids. I liked how she broke the details into specific age/stages. Highly recommend!

Excellent information

Was very helpfull to oriented my daugther

Love it

What a great resource!

Worrying sexual behaviors

A great break down and understanding of sexual behaviors, both worrisome and age appropriate, by age. A great resource for someone who works with children and teens

Really helpful

Heaps of advice I'd never even thought about, super helpful!

Genitalia Learning Fun

A brilliant resource for students with intellectual disability and autism, who are also non verbal, to learn about parts of their body to keep them healthy and safe.

Great place to start!

Our daughter was very curious and was asking about pictures, this gave us a nice intro and gave her clear specific information appropriate to her age.

Good

Very informative, totally recommend

G.P. thank you for leaving a review and congratulations! As you are the winner of the $50 Amazon Gift Card for leaving a review last month! I have just emailed you!

Amazing info

This information is so valuable to all parents and educators. I wish we kids were born with this in hand. So so good.

Love that this book is electronic and I have access to it anywhere. It helps with conversations that tend to make people uncomfortable. Highly recommend

100% recommend

Reading "explaining sexual intercourse" gave me the piece of mind and back up I needed, reinforcing what I knew and offering precious new knowledge, in order for me to feel more confident and as ready as possible for whenever the time comes for educating my child on the matter.
