Several years ago, Julia wanted a good way to teach children the difference between tattling and telling. When she couldn’t find what she was looking for, she decided to write her own book – A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue. Does Julia Cook have any childrens books about mental health?

Before the activity, print a stressors placemat for each student and draw a large circle on each piece of brown construction paper. In trying to pindown the problem, I think the book is too juvenile in its most repetitive phrase. "My tummy starts to rumble and then it starts to grumble, my words begin to wiggle, and then they do the jiggle, my tongue pushes all of my important words up against my teeth and then...." is so grating that I felt annoyed at myself just for reading it aloud. And you have to read it over and over again. I just don't talk like that. It was too babyish for me. Classroom use could be used as rules and following directions if your class is having a hard time with that.As a parent, I've realized children think everything they have to say is important and needs to be said immediately. While I do believe their words are important, it is imperative they learn how to control the impulse to speak out. I read this book to my children and it was a great conversation starter about interrupting and ways to control it.
