Tattling All Day? Here’s What to Do Instead

If you’ve already heard “They’re not sharing!” or “He cut me!” more times than you can count before recess—you’re not alone.

In this episode, Alex shares why constant tattling happens (hint: it’s not just misbehavior) and what to do instead—including real classroom examples, easy conversation scripts, and one gentle challenge for this week.

✨ You’ll learn:

  1. Why tattling is really about missing problem-solving skills
  2. How to explicitly teach peer conflict resolution
  3. What it means to coach the conversation instead of solving problems for them
  4. A simple mindset shift that turns tattling into teachable moments

Because "Use your words!" only works if we’ve taught them how.
