📖 About this Resource

Support children and teenagers in understanding the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviours with this printable CBT Thought Record Worksheet. Designed by a Child and Young Person Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, this evidence-informed resource introduces one of the core techniques used in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help young people recognise unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more balanced, compassionate perspectives.

Rather than encouraging children to think positively all the time, this worksheet helps them pause, explore the evidence for their thoughts and consider alternative ways of understanding difficult situations. It can be used during therapy sessions, at home or within educational settings to support emotional wellbeing, resilience and problem-solving.
