Jessica K Russell: Some Secrets Shouldn't Stay Secrets, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Children are often taught to follow rules, listen to adults, and keep promises-but they also need to know that some situations should never be kept secret.

Some Secrets Shouldn't Stay Secrets by children's book author Jessica K. Russell is a thoughtful, age-appropriate resource designed to help children recognize when something feels wrong and understand that they are allowed to speak up.

Through clear, child-friendly guidance, the book helps young readers:

• Recognize the difference between harmless surprises and secrets involving fear, harm, inappropriate touching, or unsafe behavior.
• Understand that they have a right to personal boundaries and bodily autonomy.
• Learn that telling a trusted adult about something unsafe is never the same as getting someone in trouble.
• Identify adults they can turn to when they need help, reassurance, or protection.
• Build confidence in expressing uncomfortable feelings and asking for support.

Created with parents, caregivers, educators, counselors, and other trusted adults in mind, Some Secrets Shouldn't Stay Secrets can help open important conversations about personal safety without frightening or overwhelming young readers.

With opportunities for reflection and discussion, this book encourages children to trust their instincts, use their voice, and understand one essential message: when something feels unsafe, they have every right to tell.
