The mother says that it is never okay for someone to touch a child's private parts in secret. The mother addresses her daughter's questions and assumptions about secret private part touching. They agree that it is best to talk openly and often about touch, even about touch that seems okay. The family in the book also role models a healthy response to a child's disclosure of sexual abuse.
