Using Conflict To Teach – Part 2

Webinar: Using Conflict To Teach Part 2 – How to Shift Intrusion and Revenge to Problem Solving

Have you ever thought of tattling as a teaching tool? In the early childhood, children are programmed to bring their distress to adults for assistance. Adult responses in these moments teach trust or mistrust in authority. The three types of tattling are intrusion, revenge, and safety tattling.

Supporting children through intrusion tattling requires teaching assertive language.

Not all children have the confidence to teach others how they want to be treated. Modeling and coaching in these moments requires teaching children what their BIG voice sounds like, looks like, and feels like. Coaching children through revenge tattling requires adults help children transform hurtful actions into helpful interactions. Safety tattling is reporting safety issues to trusted adults. In these moments the adult’s job is to reaffirm the School Family job description of keeping the classrooms safe and assure children we will take care of it.
