Did you know that life is like an obstacle course? It’s exciting and fun, but it also has difficult points that you need to overcome. If you are a child who gets excessively frustrated with these tough points to the extent that you can’t enjoy the good things life has to offer, then this book is for you.

The book “What to Do When You’re Complaining Too Much” guides children and their parents through cognitive-behavioral techniques to manage negativity. The detailed instructions show how children can become happier by adopting a positive attitude towards life.

Written by clinical psychologists and psychology professors with years of experience working with children and parents, and featuring highly engaging illustrations, the “What to Do When” series by the American Psychological Association addresses a wide range of mental difficulties and issues faced by children.

These interactive books include tried and tested strategies and techniques based on cognitive-behavioral counseling and psychotherapy. With step-by-step instructions, stories, metaphors, images, visual aids, and fun examples, each book aims to educate, motivate, and empower children.

Meanwhile, parents and educators are informed about how to tackle these difficulties and are empowered themselves to enhance the mental well-being and improve the quality of life for children.

The responsibility for translation and adaptation, as well as the scientific editing of the books, lies with Evangelia Galanaki, a professor of Developmental Psychology at the University of Athens.
