The child I'm thinking of always tries very hard not to make mistakes. If he does make a mistake, the reaction is very strong. The child often reacts with great anger, which it directs at itself and sometimes also at others.
Please take a moment and have a look at the Affirmation card set of the Vor-Sprung project.
Then select a card that suits this child. Think about how you can use this card to work together with the child. Again, use the pen and paper you have provided.
Take a moment to answer the following questions about the affirmation you have chosen. You are welcome to use the pen and paper provided.
➡️ Which affirmation have you chosen?
➡️ How does the selected affirmation make you feel?
➡️ What negative belief could be behind this affirmation? Or how could you reformulate the selected affirmation into a negative one?
➡️ Can you remember where this negative belief came from? From your parents? From school?
➡️ Where does this negative belief limit you? Where does it make your life difficult or prevent you from doing something?
