Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Identifying Anxious Thoughts: With their therapist, your child/teen learns to pinpoint the specific thoughts fueling their anxiety.
- Challenging Negative Thinking: Therapists use exercises, like the CBT Evidence For and Against Worksheet by HappierTherapy, to help children evaluate the accuracy of their fears and replace them with more balanced, positive thoughts.
- Learning Coping Strategies: CBT also equips children with practical tools to calming down their body and quieting their mind. Common strategies and examples you can try at home include:
- Relaxation: The Body Scanner! Mindfulness for Children
- Breathing Exercises: Space Breathing (Peace Out: Guided Meditation for Kids) | Cosmic Kids
- Visualization: 7 - Minute Guided Beach Meditation For Kids, Preteens, Teenagers, and Classrooms
- And physical activity like playing outside, running the stairs, or even a workout video! Tabata Workout for KIDS | The Animal Workout (ages 3-8) w/@TabataKidsWorkouts
