Help children manage unhelpful thoughts

This activity pack teaches children that thoughts, feelings and behaviour are linked. It also explains that different people experience these differently in response to the same scenario. The final task in the pack looks at when negative thoughts lead to harmful behaviours and alludes to self-harm. We are aware that incidences of self-harm in primary children are on the rise, so this pack addresses this in an age-appropriate and distanced way, and affords any children who are (or have ) self-harmed, alternative safe and healthy strategies to manage their emotions. Activities include:

Activity 1 - Theme park 'fast track' feelings
Activity 2 - What's the behaviour?
Activity 3 - Hot thoughts
