Review & Description
Are you a parent or teacher? Do you work with kids? Have you ever wanted to know why children tell secrets? Have you ever wondered what they are talking about? Have you ever wondered if "secrets" are bad or good? This mini ebook will answer all these questions and more. Directly from a parent/researcher's genuine perspective, this will help illuminate your questions about secrets and perhaps change your own perspective about the practice of secret telling. Essential for parents or anyone who works with children.
Introduction to the book
“Tommy stole the eraser from the blackboard, but keep quiet about it!” This is an example of a typical everyday secret passed between children within middle childhood. As children between the ages of 6-12 begin to expand their mental processes and utilize logical thinking, they also learn the developmental phenomenon of telling secrets. Children placed in this age group lose former characteristics of egocentrism and begin to develop an understanding of the intentions of others. While I have worked with children primarily in the older range of middle childhood, it is relevant to mention significant changes within children of this stage. During the latter half of middle childhood kids develop increasing metacognition and start to share their internal thoughts with others. As the child’s personal and social abilities expand as a result of increasing time spent in school, secrets become a gateway for a “second world of experience.”Are you a parent or teacher?
