WORKSHEET
Cosmos feels bad that he did not try and get the Plowman to change his was ng me behavior. He could have pointed out the bene ts of doing some more construc ve things with his me.
But Cosmos knows that others who have developed the habit of was ng me frequently don’t want to change and will not want your sugges ons. He points out that the Time Waster must change their S nky Thinking to Good Thinking.
He asks the reader to think of some Good Thinking they can use to quit was ng me. This is an opportunity to use your child’s own sugges ons to help them stop this very typical childhood behavior.

Maybe I will try to grow something... It might look be er with something growing (or something similar that demonstrates Good Thinking)
2. What Good Thinking can you use so that you quit was ng me?
