What to Do When You Grumble Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Negativity (What to Do Guides for Kids)

Given my 2.67 average rating on Goodreads, you'd think I'm the one in my family who grumbles too much, but I'm actually quite the optimist compared to some of the folks to whom I'm related.

I think this book does a good job of laying out the problem of negativity, but the solutions -- based on cognitive behavioral therapy -- seem little more than, "You're feeling grumbly? Well stop that, silly."

Might work for some, definitely won't for others.
