Sinopsis

DonâÇÖt Feed The Ants is a childrenâÇÖs book, ages 5 to 10, to help children identify, stop, and change automatic negative thoughts by using a process called 'thought-stopping'.áThis book depicts a little boy who feels sad, has negative thoughts about himself, and may have depression.áHe does not want to join his friends in soccer.áAn analogy of ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) and the insects 'ANTs' is used in describing how ANTs multiply if we 'feed' them.áThe little boyâÇÖs mother talks with her son about his sadness and how to change the negative thoughts to positive thoughts, instead of 'feeding' the ANTs, causing them to multiply.áInstead, she teaches him how to catch, stop, and change the automatic negative thoughts to positive thoughts, so he can control the negative thoughts and/or depressive thoughts, and feel happy again.áIt is important that we teach our children these coping mechanisms early in life, so they can learn to identify and manage their emotions, thereby increasing their resilience in life.áIf children allow these automatic negative thoughts to control them, they may end up being negative and depressed adults.áAny techniques we can teach our children will only benefit them as they grow into teens and then adults.
