How old are they and what are they telling you?
My 7yo tells on my 3yo, but usually it's only little things like standing on things or being silly. I just say to the 3yo things like ''Oh that's not very nice'', ''please play nicely together'', ''why don't you do X instead'', ''so and so won't want to play with you if you do X''...
But the 7yo is still learning that if he does something that he knows is wrong he will be disciplined, whereas the 3yo is still learning that doing X is wrong so only gets an explanation. 7yo finds this hard I think.
