Description
Making Bad Stuff Good follows the conversations and experiences of a group of middle schoolers in an after-school club, the No-Name Club, as they learn some strategies for dealing with problems, mistakes, and failures. Travel with them as they discover that meeting a challenge can be fun and that happiness is an attitude, not a condition!
Through their weekly meetings the six members of The No-Name Club learn more than they expected. They not only learn some problem-solving strategies, but they also learn that they can work together for the common good and that each of them can become stronger in the process.
The focus of this book is that how you respond to what happens to you is more important than what actually happens to you. How you interpret what happens to you is, of course, determined by your attitude. Problems aren’t necessarily “bad.” They are a part of life, and dealing with them constructively can make you a stronger person.
The questions and suggestions following each chapter can facilitate some great discussions both in the home and in the classroom.
