'List the Positives' Supporting Helpful Thinking Styles

‘List the Positives’ board has been designed to support children and young people with identifying reasons to feel positive.

This supports children in moving from unhelpful thinking to helpful thinking.

It is about resetting the negative thinking trap and reminding ourselves of the positive aspects.

This resource features The Scribbles Crew, a group of friendly looking emotions characters that can be created by any child. They are just that: scribbles!

How could this resource be used?

To support with promoting helpful thinking over unhelpful thinking.
To support children with identifying thoughts.
To support positive-thinking.
To support a child 1:1.
