I complain way too

much.It annoys my parents.

How do I stop? A Highlights Champs Reade

Deciding to fix a bad habit is

the first step, so you’re off to a

good start! Here are some ideas:

• Ask your parents and friends

for help. They could give you

a reminder signal, like a tap

on their ear, if they hear you

complain.

• When you catch yourself

complaining, stop and think of

five good things in your day.

• “Let out” what bugs you by

writing about it in a journal

instead of saying it aloud.

• Lighten your mood by writing

funny stories or drawing silly

cartoons about your complaints

• If something really upsets you,

calmly talk it over with your

parents or other trusted adults.
