Book Reviews of What Are You So Grumpy About?
Book Review: "Let Go of the Negativity and Enjoy the Moment!"
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is intended for children, but adults can also take it in as a bit of therapy. If your child swings through various moods on a cyclical basis, perhaps this book can serve as an antidote that your child can reach for on his or her own. After all, we raise our children with love and guidance and we teach them to eventually care for themselves, not for every detail, but for situations that can use self-healing.
The story is hilarious, and we all know what hilarious means.....it means we can re-focus on something funny and laugh away the negativity that sets in from time to time.
Take for example, your little boy who is having a bad hair day, going around bad-mouthing others, slamming doors, stamping his feet, even pounding his fist on the table. There are probably genuine reasons for being grumpy and uncivil, and we, as adults take the time to help our children work through whatever is going on. Rather than just remain harsh and authoritative, and that we have the answer for everything, try reading this book to your son or daughter, in a non-threatening manner. If the behavior persists, open up the book again, and read a portion to your child; hand him the book for reading, and just let it be. After a few times, he may see how destructive his behavior can be.
Hopefully, this book will provide some levity to a difficult situation, and both you and your little child can begin to discuss why he or she is "grumpy." You may find it helpful, for yourself. Give it a try!
