“The purpose of this book is to help children learn when to share and when to keep a secret. The key to helping children make this distinction is in helping them tune in to their feelings. As different situations are presented in the book, ask children how the situations make them feel and what they would do.”
“Secrets in and of themselves are not bad, but some secrets can cause anxiety and should be shared and dealt with. Children need to know it is okay to share these secrets–even if they’ve been told not to. On the other hand, it is okay to keep secrets which are fun and exciting.”
