Do You Have a Secret?: A Children's Mental Health Book to Keep Kids Safe (Classroom Books, Emotions) (Let's Talk About It!)

I got this book for my three year old. It was very sweet read and did a great job explaining the difference between a “good” and “bad” secret. Definitely a good start to teaching kids about safety with adults and other kids and doesn’t go into a lot of details that would be confusing for little one. I am a therapist, and I highly recommend books like this for young kids.

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+ (in my opinion).

I purchased this book to help explain to my son the difference between good and bad secrets, and he absolutely loves it. I would recommend. Is Simple enough for a toddler to follow and understand the illustrations are OK..

I bought this book for my almost three year old and I love it. We have read it a few times now and it explains "good secrets" first - it explains what good secrets could be and gives a few examples and then it explains bad secrets and gives a few examples. I love that the book asks questions and you as parent can figure out answers with your toddler. Its not just a book you read through quickly, it makes you and your child think and talk about the topic. It really makes a difficult topic easy to talk about and its easy to understand for toddlers. I think its a must have for every parent and their toddler.

This young girl was able to feel better about herself after disclosing some some difficult things about her family. She has proudly shown this little book to her counselor and teachers. I'm so happy to have found it for her.

I needed this book forty years ago, there was a secret which I was not aware of for over 20 years. My spouse was told but I was not. Had I been aware I could and would have done something about it. I recommend this book to all parents. You never know who will be asking or demanding that a secret be not told to mom or dad. Most children are molested by family, friends or trusted individuals (teachers coaches). This is a must for parents and school library . Please consider buying this if you are a parent or care giver for 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.

All preschools should have this book and should be required to read it to all the children! We have all read about people who have positions of authority who violate children and not only that, as we have seen with people like the Duggars, children can be violated by family members and other members of the family will cover it up rather than getting help. Of course those children were homeschooled and perhaps the state should send teachers into the homes of homeschooled children to read the book to them, so that they know that secrets are not good even when the secrets involve something family members might do. Young children have no off button so a discussion of secrets could result in any secret being spilled, which is just what should happen and whether the children are in preschool or homeschool, the message needs to get to them at an early age that secrets about what Daddy is getting Mommy for her birthday is a big difference from child molestation which cannot be covered up or ignored, whether homeschool parents like it or not. If there is nothing going on the parents should have no problem with a specially educated teacher getting the message out to children ALL children!

Una edición bonita con ilustraciones muy acertadas que acompañan un texto muy adecuado para entrenar al niño en la prevención del abuso infantil.

But it if you love your kid

Good book For young kids to learn what’s a good secret and what’s bad. Issue with these book is that they aren’t able to hold child’s curiosity for more than 1 sitting. Once read it turns out it be boring and then chewing dust in bookshelf .

I really like this book, it goes over the differences between good and bad secrets in a way kids can understand without being too much. It’s also kind of interactive which is nice, as you read you’re asking your child what they think might be a good secret, bad secret, what they think, etc. I feel like the message sticks better that way.

Excellent book for any parent to read to children to help them understand difficulties & teach them how to deal with them & do the right thing & keep themselves safe, highly recommend
