What is it about Kindergarten? Abbey has hit full-blown tattle tale status, and it is making me absolutely CRAZY!
I am a firm believer in the use of all sorts of tools when addressing a behavior concern. I can explain why it is a bad thing until my face turns blue, or I can read a few stories and show her a video. If that's what works, I say go for it!
So, without further adieu...my favorite tools to stop the tattling!

Books
There are so many great story books about tattling! I love using books because they give me something to refer back to when I need to. "Remember what happened to so and so? What did they do?" Hooray for reading comprehension! Hahaha!We have story time every day, so it is easy to slip in the books I need! {view on computer to see book recommendations}

Videos
These are great for visual learners. I swear, one of the first things I do when we are learning something new is check to see if there are any videos. They work so well for Abbey.
Printables
