The Little Book of Good and Bad Secrets

Good secrets are those that bring happiness and excitement. Usually, good secrets are kept to oneself. Bad secrets, on the other hand, are those that cause sadness or give a tummy-ache. It’s OK to share bad secrets – even if someone said not to.

Discussing good and bad secrets helps empower children to talk about uncomfortable experiences that they were told to keep hidden. The Little Book of Good and Bad Secrets presents this message in the same style as the previous books.

The Little Book of Good and Bad Secrets is part of Save the Children Sweden's 'My Body, My Self' series, which promotes children's right to bodily integrity. Launched in 2012, the 'Stop! My Body' campaign empowers children to understand and communicate their boundaries while educating adults about respecting these limits.

This initiative encourages early awareness of bodily integrity, helping children learn to express their boundaries with confidence. By engaging in conversations about boundaries and consent, adults enable children to speak up if they feel uncomfortable and establish the foundation for respecting others' 'no'.
