Page 20 - G-Dr. Nice or Mr. Nasty

The final example in our story showed classic human Stinky Thinking. A group of children are upset with the teacher because of their poor grades on a test.
Now, let me see if I understand how you human children think. Your teacher spends hours trying to help you understand something. They ask you questions in class and give you answers to those questions. Then they give you practice work to take home. And after all that, if you do poorly on the test, it is their fault?
I am sure that even you humans recognize that this doesn’t make sense. But just like in the story, you tell yourself things (Stinky Thinking) that cause you to get upset and angry (Not OK emotions) and you fuss and pout and don’t pay attention in your next class (Thumbs Down behaviors).
Of course, these Thumbs Down behaviors cause you to do poorly in other classes and your Mr. Nasty just goes on and on.
