Negative thoughts have a profound effect on students’ academic and social successes, behaviors, emotions, self-esteem, and happiness. Negative thinking and self-talk can hold them back and keep them from their full potential. In cognitive behavioral therapy, there are dozens of thinking errors that cause the mind to believe things that are just not true. Empower students to escape negative thinking by guiding them to reframe negative, faulty thoughts to positive thoughts. These engaging, highly relevant scenarios can provide students the opportunity to practice reframing their thinking in difficult situations that they experience everyday! These scenarios can aide students in taking notice of their thoughts in certain situations, step back and view the “bigger” picture, and decide how to act based on that more realistic perspective.
