Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a great book to read to any child or group of children to discuss the topic of secrets. I used it with children who have witnessed domestic violence and it was a great tool to discuss "secrets" that the children should tell and what kind of secrets are good to keep.
Trouble with secrets

I found this book to be a useful therapy tool to use with my clients. I would have liked a section at the end with possible questions to pose to clients, but the book was a great first step in teaching children about secrets.
Lots of concrete examples

I liked the concrete examples used to illustrate the process of differentiating whether secrets should be kept. Also the theme of achieving competency in learning this skill of how to differentiate; this was supported by open ended questions that allow for interaction and a sense of achievement over correctly discriminating.
This book is very useful

We all have secrets, but for some kids, secrets can be confusing. This is a great book to read to or with young children, who need to understand the difference between a good secret and a toxic secret. I use it in my practice all the time, and it helps children realize they ae not alone, and that not all secrets are fun, and some even need to be shared with a trusted adult.
