Attributing bad smells to negative thoughts, actions, and attitudes, author Bill King has created an important resource with techniques to recognize, deal with, and mitigate the negativity that a growing number of young people experience in today's society. STINKIN' THINKIN' STINKS is full of fun activities designed to provide kids with real tools for changing negative habits. King engages and empowers adolescents to take action to change their lives and provides age-appropriate activities that make it possible. STINKIN' THINKIN' STINKS also engages parents and inspires discussion, introspection, and change in readers of all ages.

"I am thrilled to announce the release of this book!" King exclaimed. "The challenges young people face today are absolutely unbearable, and I know this book can help kids find a more positive way to live life. After reading that the third leading cause of death among adolescents is suicide, I had to do something to help."

STINKIN' THINKIN' STINKS will have kids rolling with laughter as they use the term "STINK Eye" to refer to seeing things worse than they really are, "STINK Bait" to refer to being so negative that other negative people want to hang around you, and "STINK Breath" to mean using negatively-charged language. The exercises King outlines are easy and accessible and use materials any parent could get, such as Tic Tacs, index cards, poster board, markers, a great imagination.

"As a parent, grandparent, teacher and counselor, I feel children are subjected to more negative situations in today's world than ever before," said Tami Hendrix, M.A., LPC of Arlington Counseling Group. "The skills children will learn from Bill's book are a much needed tools and can help avoid or diffuse otherwise building powder kegs of negativity in our nation's children." Readers will gain skills to become aware of negative thought patterns, discover ways to eliminate negative thinking, and access a more positive place to experience life.
