Telling Isn't Tattling

Can your children tell the difference between telling and tattling? This easy-to-read book describes several situations and asks kids to determine whether the characters are just snitching on each other or if they really need adult help. It also helps parents and caregivers learn when to pay attention to kids' requests. Telling Isn't Tattling suggests several different ways children can handle problems, whether minor irritations or potentially dangerous situations. Encourages interaction by asking the readers what they would do first. Includes a list where children can write the names and telephone numbers of people who can provide help.
