All or Nothing
Changing self-defeating thoughts requires cognitive restructuring of thought processes in the brain. One way to help your child do this is to talk the child through the experience. For example: if the child says, "Everyone thinks I'm stupid." You respond with, "What makes you think that?". The child might say, "Because everyone was laughing when I answered a question wrong in class." You then say, "How did that make you feel?" The child says, "Terrible!" You say, "Okay, let's think of some reasons the other kids might have been laughing and write them down."
