Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Helping children become aware of the ways in which thoughts can influence emotions and behavior is one of the most valuable lessons we can bequeath. Exactly when social, mental and up close and personal improvement is rapid, reconsidering counterproductive thinking and the convictions that underlie that accepting is fundamental to investigating the significant and individual challenges experienced during youth.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help children to reframe how they identify, interpret and evaluate their emotional and behavioral reactions to negative experiences. Stressing the need for collaborative goal-setting and training in anger management and social skills, Braswell and Bloomquist indicated that CBT for children and adolescents with ADHD is most beneficial in group treatments involving family and teachers.
