Children have secrets and need to have them. They need this freedom to realise their creativity and find their own identity. Parents should respect the fact that their children have secrets. There are nice secrets, but there are also burdensome ones. If children are afraid of their parents' reaction to their misdemeanours, they are more likely not to tell. Such feelings of guilt and shame put a strain on children's souls. If a child changes conspicuously, withdraws or eats less well, it is important that parents talk to them. Sometimes awkward things happen in life or things simply go wrong... Just like with Moira. She has bad luck today. It all starts with her tights in the morning. She pulls on a loose thread and a hole appears. Moira doesn't dare tell her mum about it and decides to keep it a secret. Later, she secretly throws her pear away because she doesn't like it. In this way, the secrets she doesn't dare tell her parents accumulate. This wonderful story serves as a little companion to teach the children: We're not nosy, but if something is bothering you, you should tell us. We will definitely be there for you.
