[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our rule is you should tell the other kid to knock it off first. If they stop, you don’t tattle. If they continue, you tell an adult. 99% of children are normal and will stop when another child tells them to stop. This is good for both your child and the instigator - your child learns to defend themselves and to trust their own ability to confront wrongdoing with confidence. Or helps the instigator learn proper socializing and teaches them to respect your child.

1% of children are psychopaths and that is for whom we preserve the right to tattle.[/quote]

NP.  A whole lot more than 1% of kids are immature and impulsive and learn to stop later than your kid.  It may make them annoying and may get them in trouble frequently but it doesn't make them psychopaths.  [/quote]
Then they are on the path of becoming psychopaths. Believe it or not, in elementary school a child should recognize another’s firm NO as a signal to stop. In fact, if your child is older than 5 and does not respond to a NO by another child, they are very poorly socialized, which is just another way of saying they are on the path of psychopathy. It is unfortunate that parents don’t recognize how early a child needs to learn how to play with other children.[/quote]
