A: Discuss tattling vs informing



Tattling is when you are telling on someone just to get them in trouble. Informing is when you are telling an adult about something that has happened that is either dangerous or hurtful. Hopefully if you can explain the two, then ask your child "Are you tattling or informing?" he can better identify tattling behaviors.
