Free Do You Have A Secret? (Let's Talk About It!) Ebooks Online
Every child has secrets, and many secrets are fun to keep--for instance, a surprise birthday gift for Mom, or a secret handshake with a young friend. But sometimes, children have secrets that make them feel bad, and these secrets are best shared with their parents, or with some trusted older person. A child who is bullied might be inclined to keep it secret, but it's always best to tell parents about it. Or children who are touched intimately and improperly by an older person will soon feel better if they reveal the secret to parents. This book helps kids distinguish between good and bad secrets. Even very young children have concerns and anxieties, and Tell Somebody Books are written and illustrated especially for them. Parents are advised to read these books aloud while their preschooler listens and looks at illustrations of the boys and girls in each story. Many children in early grades will be able to read the stories for themselves. Tell Somebody Books encourage children to explore their feelings, and then to speak openly about things that trouble them.

This is a wonderful book for kids teaching and bad and good secrets. I've used it specifically with sexually abused kiddos. It is not an in your face type of book and I think that is the quality that makes it so great. It is a safe book for kids to read where they don't feel pressured to tell or learn about secrets. It really gets the message across without shaming the child.
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 liked this book. I bought it for my 6 year old. It explains the difference between good secrets and bad secrets. Example: surprise party would be a good secret. It's a good book to add into the rotation of bed time stories. I would recommend reading once a month with your child just to make sure the message is reinforced.
A great awareness book for your child. What are good secrets and what are not a good secrets exemplifies perfectly in this book!
The main idea is that there are good secrets such as BD surprise for mom and bad secrets - those that make you feel bad, sad, guilty. Good secrets' re good to keep. Bad secrets should be told parents or trusted adults which would make you feel better. There's a plenty of examples in the book. Not very exciting reading for kids (that's why only 4 stars) but the book was really helpful for me as a mom, because I finally found the right words.
Every household that has an elementary school student especially Kindergartner or 1st grader should own this book...I like the way the book is asking questions about good and bad secrets and teaches the kids that no matter how bad the secret is you still have to talk to an adult.
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.
I like to read this book to older pre-k and younger Elemantary school age children. I think it gives great age appropriate examples of "good" and "bad" secrets. It helped my first grade son understand this delicate subject very easily.
