I love reading online forum's. Having a collaboration of individuals is way better than thinking up solutions on your own. LOL!
Anyway, someone asked what to do with their tattle tale. Oh. MY. Gosh! I have been dealing with this forever!!! Usually I don't think about it because with fostering, it comes and goes. Just depends on the ages.
But now, we have Miss Priss and Lil Miss and that is all they do. All. day. long. It is NON STOP TATTLING! So I had to read that thread. A wise parent suggested a Tattle Report. The child now has to write a report in regards to what ever they feel they just need to tell you about. The best part, they have to make it as detailed as possible.
So I made one.
They have to list: time, date, offender, plaintiff, injuries, (even a check if blood was involved), witnesses, location, what happened, and how it affected them.
I have printed off 5 copies. Let's see how long it takes for the tattling to stop after having to fill out that report each time....LOL!
DH has already yelled down the stairs telling one to fill out the form because I haven't even gotten this post typed and we have tattling.
I'll keep you updated...
