What is the theory behind this CBT Triangle for Kids Worksheet?
The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy triangle can be used to help young kids understand how their thoughts, feelings and behaviours are interconnected. It is a very important concept to teach them at a young age so that they eventually learn how to regulate their thoughts and their emotions in stressful situations.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet can help young kids understand how their feelings and behaviours are determined by their thoughts that follow any event. The diagram along with an example of their own will help them understand the concept of the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions.
How to use the worksheet?
Once the young kids have been taught how their emotions and behaviours are connected to their thoughts, use this worksheet to help them write down an example of their own. They can begin by writing a recent negative event, their thoughts that followed and how it made them feel and behave.
