Coles The Thinking Traps Toolbox: Stories and CBT Activities for Kids at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Teach children that their thoughts are powerful, but not always true! Every day, children face moments that can feel overwhelming: a mistake in class, a misunderstanding with friends, the fear of getting something wrong. In these moments, their minds can slip into "thinking traps"--unhelpful thought patterns that make ordinary challenges seem much worse than they are. Designed as a tool for therapists, teachers, and parents, this book uses engaging, relatable stories to introduce children to the core cognitive distortions described in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). As they read about characters who struggle, reflect, and grow, children discover how thoughts shape feelings and behavior--and how changing their thoughts can alter the course of what happens next. Each chapter focuses on one thinking trap and includes:
Short stories about familiar situations involving big emotions, mistakes, worries, and resilience
Guided reflection questions to challenge unhelpful beliefs and choose kinder, more flexible ways of responding
Creative activities for individual or group work to practice more helpful ways of thinking
Whether used at home, in the classroom, or in therapeutic settings, this book helps kids learn that thoughts are not facts, and that getting stuck is not the same as being lost.
