Convert negative thoughts into Positive thoughts

A card to make children aware of helpful (positive) and non-helpful thoughts (negative) they have. Children can write or draw the situation in the boxes and add the thoughts they had at that moment. By giving children an insight into their thoughts and by teaching them that they can influence their thoughts and feeling, you can stimulate children to convert (negative) acquired behavior and negative patterns into positive ones.

On the left are the helping thoughts in the green block. Meaning of the pictograms:
1. happy, I like it, I am looking forward to it
2. thumbs up, I am confident
3. I will not be fooled / remain calm
4. I like to go to work
5. neutral, I'll see how it goes
6. I can enjoy when others have fun
On the right are the non-helping thoughts in the red block. The icons that appear are:
1. I worry
2. stress, nerves, panic
3. I find it hard
4. I am angry
5. I am sad
6. thumbs down, I don't trust it, I can't
Together with the child you can see how non-helping, negative thoughts can be turned into helping, neutral and positive thoughts. By giving children an insight into their thoughts and by teaching them that they can influence their thoughts and feeling, you can stimulate children to convert (negative) acquired behavior and negative patterns into positive ones.
