Description
Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept is a beautifully illustrated picture book that sensitively broaches the subject of keeping our children safe from inappropriate touch. We teach water safety and road safety, but how do we teach 'body safety' to young children in a way that is neither frightening nor confronting?
This book is an invaluable tool for parents, caregivers, teachers, and health professionals. The comprehensive notes to the reader and discussion questions at the back of the book support both the reader and the child when discussing the story.
Suitable for ages 3 to 12 years. A free 'body safety' song, supporting teacher's pack, and other useful resources are also available from: www.somesecrets.info
