Moms Talk: Discussing Bullying with Your Kids

Moms Talk is feature on O'Fallon Patch that is part of an initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to local moms and families.

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of smart moms take your questions, ask their own, give advice and share solutions.

Last week's question:

Many parents struggle with the decision whether to send their children to kindergarten or hold them back if their birthday is between the months of May-July. How do you decide when your child is ready for school? 

This week's question: 

How do you talk to your kids about bullying? How do you explain the difference between "tattling" and a situation where an adult needs to be made aware of what's going on? 

Share your thoughts and weigh in on the conversation in the comments section below. If you have another topic you would like to see discussed, send it to jordan.lanham@patch.com
