Ever wonder why kids tattle—and how to help them know when to speak up? In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Julie Mendenhall and Colleen Roahrig to unpack the difference between “tattling” and “telling.” They share practical strategies for parents to guide children through tricky social situations, build empathy, and develop problem-solving skills. If you’ve ever heard “I’m telling!” and wondered what to do next, this conversation is for you.
