A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue

Whenever you are deciding if you should tell an adult, follow the tattle rules.
These rules will help you decide if you are tattling or warning!

Be a Danger Ranger!

If a person or animal is in danger, you must warn a grown up.

Be a Problem Solver!

If the problem involves you, take charge and try hard to solve it yourself first.
Ask yourself if it is a BIG problem or a small problem.

We can usually solve small problems by ourselves.

Now or Later?

Is the problem a now problem or a not now problem?

If it is a now problem, it might be an emergency. Tell an adult right away.

If it is a later problem, it is probably not an emergency. Try to solve the problem by yourself later on.

M.Y.O.B.--Mind your own beeswax!

If the problem is not dangerous and does not involve you, Do Not Tattle!
