One of the most difficult distinctions for children, especially the  younger ones is that between being a tattle tale and an appropriate  reporting of an incident. Students are told that they should not stand  by when they witness people being hurt or if they think that others will  be hurt, both physically and socially. It is an important distinction  that many teachers have addressed in explicit lessons. It is a good idea  to have a conversation with your child about when it is important to  report.<\/p>\n<p>Here are definitions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tattling<\/strong>: reporting  to an adult to get someone into trouble, or reporting when no one is in  danger and rules are not being broken. It is not about keeping people  safe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Threatening<\/strong>: indicating  intention to harm or hurt; saying that something bad or mean will be  done to someone. If you hear this, you should report it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reporting\/asking for help<\/strong>: when  you ask an adult for help or report unsafe things to an adult, you are  doing it to help someone who is in danger, who is being hurt, or having  their feelings hurt. The goal of telling an adult is to help and to keep  students safe. This is not being a tattle tale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A useful resource for both parents and teachers is <a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?e=001y8Veuu8usV20MlL4VtMIy9uUBYy-66e5uT1MoXt2zkdIzwS74AIa0Zyb2TH6I1z14GnRKYaJUtqClV3wGrdvqHrDCqov8ui_ykhDEzbCgxw=\" target=\"_blank\">prevnet.ca<\/a>,  which is a research based site devoted to the understanding and  prevention of bullying with resources for parents and children as well  as professionals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the past few weeks, most teachers have been working with their classes on anti-bullying lessons.
