How CBT Works at Blessings Child Development Centre?
Our CBT programme follows a child-friendly, step-by-step therapeutic structure:
1. Initial Assessment & Behaviour Mapping
We evaluate behaviour patterns, emotional triggers, thought processes, sensory factors, attention levels, and environmental influences.
2. Understanding Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviour
Children are guided to identify connections between their thoughts, emotions, and actions using visual aids, play therapy, and structured CBT tools.
3. Learning New Skills & Healthy Responses
Therapists teach coping skills, behaviour alternatives, self-calming techniques, and positive communication strategies.
4. Behaviour Restructuring
Through practice and guided tasks, children gradually unlearn negative behaviours and replace them with healthier patterns.
5. Parent Training & Reinforcement at Home
Parents receive guidance to implement the same strategies at home for consistency.
6. Monitoring & Review
Progress is assessed regularly to track behavioural improvements and adapt strategies.
