Their brain wasn't broken — it was distorted.
๐๐จ๐ ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ are automatic thought patterns that twist reality. The brain isn't lying on purpose — it genuinely believes what it's telling itself. And for kids whose emotional regulation is still developing, these distortions don't just cause momentary distress. They can harden into core beliefs:
"๐'๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ."
"๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด."
"๐ ๐ข๐ญ๐ธ๐ข๐บ๐ด ๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ญ."
Left unchecked, that's the foundation anxiety builds on.
That's why I created a clear and simple infographic to show exactly what's going on inside an anxious kid's mind.
It covers:
10 common cognitive distortions fueling kids' anxiety
General strategies to start untwisting those thoughts
Here's a quick taste of the distortions to watch for:
