Children and Secrets...

I really dont know! Might just be kid stuff. I wouldnt worry to much about it. Hes not old enought to really have a secret that would be bad. Im sure its nothing.

Secrets are bad. A child being encouraged to keep secrets by his teacher is a bad thing, and you're right to think twice about it, mama! Now this school thing, when kids make presents, thats supposed to be a "surprise" and surprises are kept hush-hush, and that's different. Your child should always be able to come to you and tell you anything and everything. When you start young with this "no secrets" policy with your kids, by the time they're old enough to be told by another adult (or an older kid) to keep a "secret", they'll come straight to you and tell you! My midwife told me to keep my child close to me by training him to come to me and responding to his needs right away. She told me to encourage my child to come to me and speak his mind as he grew, instead of me anticipating and guessing and coming to him. This way, she said, my son will always come to me, even if he strays away, he'll know he can talk to me always about all things. And she was right. My children are now 30, 26, and 21, and they still "come to me!" Children should not be encouraged to keep secrets by any adult, especially not by a teacher or other authority figure. How old is your son? It could be that he's at that age where his "privacy" is important to him, but secrets should be a red-flag. Follow your intuition. If you think somethings rotten, then it stinks.
