Children who experience anxiety often develop patterns of negative self-talk – thoughts like “I can’t do this” or “Something bad will happen.” Left unchallenged, these thoughts can make worries feel bigger and more overwhelming.

Teaching children how to notice and challenge these thoughts helps them to:

• Build emotional resilience and confidence
• Develop a more balanced and realistic perspective
• Reduce feelings of anxiety and self-doubt
• Create positive thinking habits that support wellbeing
• Feel more in control of their thoughts and emotions

By learning to reframe negative thoughts into positive or more helpful ones, children are better equipped to face challenges, regulate their feelings, and improve their overall mental health.
