Khi trẻ than phiền quá nhiều : Cẩm nang giúp trẻ khắc phục những suy nghĩ tiêu cực

by Dawn Huebner

Làm cha mẹ, ắt hẳn ai nấy đều mong muốn con trẻ có thể trưởng thành một cách thuận lợi. Thế nhưng trên thực tế, sự phát triển của mỗi đứa trẻ hầu như đều khác nhau và không phải lúc nào cũng thật suôn sẻ. Sẽ có bé gặp từ một đến hai khó khăn nhưng cũng có bé vướng phải khá nhiều rắc rối. Đặc biệt ở độ tuổi 6 - 12, trẻ thường có xu hướng suy nghĩ tiêu cực, gây ra những ảnh hưởng xấu đến thái độ và biểu hiện trong học tập cũng như sinh hoạt. Thấu hiểu được những điều này, tiến sĩ Dawn Huebner đã đúc kết những kinh nghiệm của mình để cho ra mắt bộ sách gồm 6 quyển Cẩm nang dành cho trẻ em và Khi Trẻ Than Phiền Quá Nhiều chính là một trong số đó. Quyển sách hướng dẫn các bậc phụ huynh cách tương tác hiệu quả với con cái để giúp hành trình trưởng thành của bé thuận lợi và hạnh phúc hơn.

About the author

Dawn Huebner, PhD, is a Clinical Psychologist and Parent Coach specializing in childhood anxiety. She is the author of 20 books for children (and one for therapists), including bestsellers What to Do When You Worry Too Much and Outsmarting Worry.

Dr. Huebner recognized the need for lively, easy-to-read take-home materials to help children practice the strategies they were learning in her office. She created a format effective for 6-12-year olds – the What to Do Guides for Kids - teaching complex psychological concepts using metaphors, language, and humor easily understood by children. Subsequent books maintain her distinctive voice while adding a layer of detail and sophistication appreciated by older children and teens.

All of Dr. Huebner’s books echo her philosophy - that children can and should be taught to help themselves, and that they are capable of overcoming even stuck-seeming challenges.
Dr. Huebner’s books sell briskly around the world, and have been translated into 23 languages. She has been featured on the TODAY Show, CNN.com, WebMD and many other news and information outlets, and is frequently interviewed by popular parenting magazines. Dr. Huebner’s TEDx talk on Rethinking Anxiety has been viewed over a million times.

Dr. Huebner enjoys hearing from readers. She is always at work on her next book...

This entire series is excellent. Wonderful guide to help kids (and grown-ups!) navigate strong emotions using simple techniques that follow cognitive behavioral therapy model. We will definitely come back to these!

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.

2nd book in this series we've read after worry. This one seems to describe Matthew perfectly (although I'm interested to read the anger one too). I'm impressed by how they are using good therapy techniques, but have addressed it well to a young audience, as well to their "coaches". Remains to be seen how effectively we'll use the tips. We are making grandma and aunt read too so we can all work together

Best to purchase as a workbook to write / draw in with your child. Don’t borrow it from the library.

A bit wordy at times, but has good explanations and examples for kids about how to “stretch their thinking” like they stretch their muscles, from negative thinking to positive thinking.

This is a very helpful book for kids. My son at 6 really liked the book and went back to it on the shelf many times, on his own. He didn't want to do the exercises with me though! But he would do one of them and it helped. He felt validated by the book and it gave him some awareness.

Well written for the suggested age group. Fast/Easy to follow and implement.

[Launna · Rating 5 out of 5]

A really great way to talk about the idea of positivity and optimism and a little bit of anger management. I am thankful for the discussion with our children. Good for me too.

03/09: This whole series is very good. They respectfully teach one how to fight against disordered tendencies.

This amazing book clearly explains concepts of negativism and positivism in ways that make sense to kids. It explains why it's better to be positive and how to get there. Great illustrations and simple exercises help bring the points home. Read it with your kids!

I brought this one home for my younger son to read. This author has a few books out that do a great job helping children gain perspective on certain behaviors.
