[quote=Anonymous]There was a kid in my cub scouts group who was sort of like that. I start responding with questions like "OK. What do you think I need to do about it?" or "What do you think needs to happen next?". They would generally just give me a blank stare or say "I don't know...". I eventually told him to tell me if something was happening that needed my intervention. Is somebody about to get hurt? Is property about to get damaged? Tell me so I can stop it. If it's just an annoyance, then there's nothing I can do, so it's pointless to tell me. I don't know if that worked or if he just grew out of it, but eventually the endless reporting slowed down.[/quote]
