“…For example, educational programs during the early preschool years focusing on teaching young children the differences between good and bad secrets might potentially be useful to facilitate children’s disclosures. Furthermore, since young children are dependent on adults to report suspicions of abuse to the police, research‐based guidelines regarding how to react to young children’s disclosures of secrets may be targeted towards common disclosure recipients, such as parents and preschool teachers (Magnusson et al ., ).…”

Young children are not exempt from these types of feelings, and a recent study suggests that few pre‐schoolers disclose sexual abuse spontaneously (Magnusson, Ernberg, & Landström, ).
