So, since most of us grow up pretty messed up, and have to look back and go through this very painful process of recorrecting ourselves, I thought it might be a great idea to teach kids some form of CBT from childhood?
Parents often seem to mess up with bringing their kids.. and I don't want to blame them, because they simply don't know how to.
So why not atleast teach the kids - from a very young age - a form of therapy techniques.. like how to manage your anger, emotions, what is fear, how to overcome it, how to develop good self esteem etc? It is so crucial for the kids right? We teach them maths, science, history, biology etc, but isn't it very necessary to teach them about their emotions?
After all, to make them a good human is more important than to make them just good in maths or science or anything. And it will help them immensely in their survival.
Any thoughts?
