What parents and educators are saying:

This is an amazing book to educate young children on the difference between a good secret and a bad secret. It uses child-friendly language while touching on different forms of abuse to let kids know what is and isn’t an appropriate secret to keep. This is a great way to keep your kids protected by equipping them with the knowledge they need to keep them safe, and it opens a door for communication. Appropriate for children as young as 2.All preschools should have this book and should be required to read it to all the children! I’m very happy with this book- it makes the subject very easy to discuss and is perfect for starting the important conversations about privacy and certain feelings with a 3 year old but also not too simple for a seven year old. I recommend this for every parent to read with their kids and continue to pop it into the rotation through the years as they get older.Great book. An awesome and clear way to speak to your children about good secrets and bad secrets! Definitely recommend to all parents!

From the Publisher

HELPING CHILDREN TO EXPLORE THEIR FEELINGS

Advice to Parents

Each book in the series includes “Notes to Parents” that provide helpful hints and advice when dealing with the feelings and emotions of children.

Children are always encouraged to ask and answer questions posed throughout the books. Dialogue is created as a means to initiate communication, and to inspire learning.

DO YOU HAVE A SECRET?

Children spend much of their time away from the security of their home, and as a result, we are not always able to be with them to ensure their safety. We can, however, introduce knowledge and encourage communication so that our children feel comfortable enough to disclose their secrets, whether they are good or bad. When children are encouraged to communicate, they will, in turn, develop the appropriate skills necessary for them to be active participants in maintaining their own safety.

Children will learn to distinguish between “good secrets” and those secrets that are necessary to disclose A child’s ability to distinguish such information will have a positive impact on his/her ability to react appropriately

Also available in the LET’S TALK ABOUT IT! series

WHEN MY PARENTS FORGOT HOW TO BE FRIENDS

The purpose of this book is to acknowledge some of the concerns and anxieties your child may experience when going through a divorce in the family. Allowing your child the opportunity to explore his/her feelings and fears is the first step in the process of healing. Giving children the chance to heal by addressing some of these issues will encourage them to become a survivor of separation and divorce, rather than remaining a victim.
