Children love secret club houses. They love secrecy even when there's no need for secrecy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
No one can keep a secret better than a child.
No one ever keeps a secret so well as a child.
Kids lead a very private life.
I've always been interested in family secrets and what happens behind closed doors. I find that fascinating and creepy - that's why I read: because I want to know other people's secrets.
Children know from a remarkably early age that things are being kept from them, that grown-ups participate in a world of mysteries.
In all secrets there is a kind of guilt, however beautiful or joyful they may be, or for what good end they may be set to serve. Secrecy means evasion, and evasion means a problem to the moral mind.
I'm not a believer in hiding things from my kids because ultimately they are going to have questions - they feel things.
I guess I've always been attracted to secret societies and the mystery surrounding them.
The idea of withholding a massive secret is obviously quite exciting to some people. It is also the basis of much classic drama, of course, from Sophocles onwards.
The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
