A new song from the My Body Is My Body Programme, showing children that keeping secrets when someone is bullying them or hurting them is not a good thing to do. Song Objectives To teach children NOT to keep SECRETS.... The abuse flourishes in secrecy and allows the abuser to keep control of the child. This is why we need to teach children NOT to keep secrets. Teaching about good and bad secrets can be difficult to explain - so keep it simple and have a “No Secretʼs Rule” in your family. Instead you can talk about surprises... Surprises are about FUN !! For Example - We will not tell Mommy or Daddy what we have got them for their birthday as it is a surprise! This is a scenario where children are not having to keep it quiet for too long, and it has a positive outcome.
