Help with my 6y old daughter?

In the middle ages they had a rule: if someone accused another of a crime and was unable to prove it then the accuser was to suffer the punishment for the crime. You might establish a similar rule. If your daughter says that Nicki is using bad words and she cannot prove it then she will be punished as if she had used bad words. This should do the trick. In addition, I think that being a tattle-tale comes with being a little girl (remembering myself at that age), and that getting her on to more positive occupations might help with the problem.

I have a other Opinion about snitch as the user who answehred before me. I self are the oldest of 3 childs and i can you say that i often was the victim of snitching from my littel Sisters. I hate it as kid and i dont like it now. So i think your daughter need a punishment from you. She also ignore your talking and she ignore the timeouts that you give her. She test her limits and she do it with an unfair tool for get her brother in trouble.

What will you make if they start to snitch other childs than her brother? I know no kid who like to play with "snitchers". Give her a punishment to stop her behavior and tell her that she dosent get a punishment if they tell you some about dangerous things or breaking major rules from her brother or others.

She needs something better to do. Her snitching involves getting attention, not only from you, but her brother as well.

Help her find her thing, or a friend to play with. If she is interested in what she is doing, she won't be worried about what he is doing.

I am the mother of 4 children. One day that snitching could save a life! Your daughter needs more to do and you need to get her involved in something. Crafts,cooking,sewing,needlework,reading,math games,let her play school with you.There are many things to do. This will help her brother also. Get him involved! We are here to teach our children, and point them in the right direction. Now, get busy, your daughter is waiting! DeDe

it is normal for kids, especially younger siblings to snitch on older ones. i tell my kids that i don't want to hear anything like that. i also tell the snitcher that they are not perfect so cannot snitch on the other one. finally, i explain that only in emergency situations like someone in danger or getting hurt should either child tell on the other.

when they snitch of non-important things, i remind them that i will be ignoring them unless it is an emergency.

tattle tailing on your sibling comes with the territory of being a sibling!! lol

i have 3 girls and they are TERRIBLE at this!! it's gotten better since i've enforced the "if you tattle on your sibling and it's not for something truly bad-you're in trouble too" rule.

this means, if one of my girls "tattles" on the other for something trivial such as "chelsei keeps staring at me" or "sadie didn't pick up as many toys as me" then the person doing the "tattling" is also in trouble which usually ends up with a time out or lost tv for the night. it works-they have since stopped tattling on each other quite as much.

I agree with getting her busy and occupied with more things so she's not hounding her brother so much. maybe buying small crafts at your local dollar store or michael's craft store (if you live in the US) for her to do or have her help you make dinner,lunch,etc-my girls love doing this!!

hope this helps!!
