I had a tattletale girl in care for years and she narrated our entire day and when I asked her Mom if she noticed this at home she said yes, the little girl even tattled on the pets. I spent all day every day asking her not to tell me everything but to talk to her friends. I was trying to teach her that is was unacceptable to tattle to an adult nonstop and learn to socialize and talk with her peers and work out problems herself. Her JK teacher will never know the grief I spared her! She was doing much better after 3 years of torture for me.

As far as the behaviour of the 10 year old boy I would be on him like white on rice, putting him in timeout, separating him from the others, removing privileges and encouraging him to change his behaviour. I would be shushing him and asking him to apologize to the others until I exhausted him. I'm stubborn and that's how I cure the children of bad behaviour. I'm relentless in breaking them of their bad habits and never cave in until they know it's going to be my way. Little do they know I'm helping them to be better people for the rest of their lives with good habits.
