When your child tells on you at the worst moment.
When your child is excited about their new skill of speaking, they tend to lack discernment, and sometimes tell on you at the worst possible times.
This can be times when you’ve snuck them in at an event with a certain age restriction, and they tell their real age. Or when they repeat a conversation you thought you were having in private.
As a parent, you need to remember that it is crucial to respond to this behavior properly.
As a parent, you should be ready to talk to them about their lives and problems at any time and you want your child to understand that while telling on you is inappropriate, they should report harmful incidents to you immediately.
