Turning Negative Self Talk in to Positive Self Talk 

 

Sometimes children can be consumed with negative thoughts and / or negative self talk which can start to interfere with their daily lives and activities. Please see the below links to some articles about how to help children to notice these negative thoughts and to reframe their thinking and turn their thoughts and self talk around. Please talk to your child’s classroom teacher if you are concerned about your child’s ability to reframe their thinking and would like some additional support or strategies for how to help them at home.
