Report, not Tatttle
Are you frustrated with tattling?
Do you take the time to slow down and notice the goodness around you? Can you find determination, kindness, grit, generosity, patience, energy, honesty, fairness, or compassion?
Many children and adults are quick to see the faults in others and enjoy "tattling" to friends. Later, we somehow feel guilty and wish we'd stayed quiet. Train your brain today to see goodness and take the guilt out of life .
Teach children reporting skills early on to help them live a life full of friends and contentment, instead of guilt and frustration.
Reporting Roxy from Powerful You understands the 3 reporting rules.
Report Danger. (someone walking on top of monkey bars, strangers, a bleeding friend….)
Report Bullies.
Report the Goodness in Others. YES!! After recess, encourage your class to report one good thing they noticed!
Train the brain to use Reporting Roxy’s positive self-talk: “I report the goodness in others.” Read Roxy’s story, give turn and talk time with each journaling question, and memorize the affirmation. Recess tattles will dwindle. Kids love the true story of Reporting Roxy.
