A great article for parents of children of all ages. It's never too early to help role model more balanced thoughts, talking, and subsequently behaviour that your littles hear and see. Research shows that thought suppression (don't think that thought) can actually produce a rebound effect that can increase the frequency of the undesired thoughts. Help your kids to recognize unhelpful thoughts/self-talk and practice reframing to something more realistic and balanced. Also, surprise, this is not just for kids -- many people of all ages can benefit.
