Children dont always know when or who to tell. We teach them to respect their elders and be quiet when asked; to behave and not to tattle. This needs to change! Suzy Has A Secret explains to children that we must always tell our parents or others when something doesnt feel right. I recommend this book highly. Susan Vance AuthorSuzy Has a Secret is a great resource in instructing children about good touch/bad touch. I think it is smartly written and developed and easy for children to read. This is a difficult subject to tackle and the authors have done a brilliant job. I would highly recommend this book. Kristina Ball Author As children weve been taught to listen to our parents and to do everything they tell say us. We know how much they love us and they wont do anything to hurt us. One of these things concerns tattling on someone else who did something they shouldnt have done because doing it wouldnt be a nice thing to do.But what happens when a relative like Uncle Bob starts doing something he shouldnt and tell us to keep it a secret even from our parents. This is what Suzy has to deal with in this brief story when he starts touching her in places she somehow feels is wrong; she becomes scared and doesnt want to get in trouble for tattling on her uncle to her parents.This creates a conflict in her young mind since her parents had also taught her that if something is bothering her she should come to them. When she tells her friend Lucy whats happening Lucys older brother tells Suzy to tell her parents and that she wouldnt get into trouble. Suzy follows his advice tells her parents who respond by sitting down and talking to her about what Uncle Bob did to her.Inappropriate touching is a sensitive everyday occurring issue which parents need to discuss with their young child and this book serves as marvelous beginning from which this discuss can begin. The book then gives parents ideas as to how to go about doing this. For trying to help parents especially first-time young parents in dealing with this important sensitive issue theres no way I cant give Ms. Jackson 5 STARS for her endeavor here. Mrs. D.
