My Thoughts Are Not Facts – FREE Printable
My Thoughts Are Not Facts – FREE Printable
Our minds can sometimes tell us things that feel true, even when they might not be.
The My Thoughts Are Not Facts printable helps children learn how to notice unhelpful or worried thoughts, pause and look at them in a different way.
This simple, child-friendly resource encourages children to:
- Recognise the thoughts going through their mind
Ask whether a thought is really a fact
- Look for the facts and consider another point of view
- Challenge negative or unhelpful thinking
- Replace difficult thoughts with kinder, more helpful ones
- Think about what they might say to a friend having the same thought
- Practise reframing one of their own thoughts
Children are gently reminded that having a thought doesn't make it true and that they don't have to believe everything their mind tells them.
A useful resource for children experiencing worry, anxiety, overthinking, low confidence or negative self-talk.
Perfect for use at home or in school.
