DD1 (almost 7) had an event at school today - presentation/play type thing about saving money. All fine, very good. But when I asked her about it she said she couldn't tell me because it was a secret. It took me a good 10 minutes, and quite an upset DD to convince her that it wasn't a secret from Mums and Dads.
I will admit to being ultra conscious about children needing to know that they shouldn't keep certain secrets (due to personal history and indirect family history - details not really relevant here except that they may make me over-think certain things).
DH and I have had the "the only secret we keep from Mum and Dad is what Christmas or birthday present we got them" conversation with DD a few times already, but the simple mention of "it's a secret" from this character in a play seemed to undermine all of it.
Obviously I need to reinforce the message with DD again. But WIBU to mention it to her teacher to say I was a bit concerned about the "secret" stuff? Or am I over thinking it completely?
