My son is so negative!?!
Question: How can I stop my son from being so negative. My mom's side of the family is that way and it is so irritating. I talk to him and encourage him but it doesn't seem to help.
Answers:
Personality and tendencies are partly genetic, and it's possible that he inherited it from your mom's side of the family.You may be his mother, but there is only so much you can do.He's the only one who can take the steps to change his attitude.

Send him to boot camp over the summer. Smart or dumb, boot camp helps.

I went to boot camp too. I now attend Harvard University and maintain a 3.8 GPA
Some people are just that way. It is their personality, esp. since it runs in the family - so at least you know where it comes from.
Do you get really loud when you tell him not too, talk to him and find out why he is that way? Talking and not being mad may help, maybe hes not doing well with something.
if hes a teenager, theres not much you can do. Itll pass. If hes not, then just encourage him to look at "at leasts"- the brighter side of things
maybe he gets it from his family..
Stop blaming the genes for that. Instead try to make him feel confident indirectly. Creating situations around him in a way that will make him feel capable and strong.
Talk to him. Always be posotive around him.
