Using CBT as an Effective Behaviour Management Strategy explores the use of CBT strategies which help children to regulate in a safe and supportive environment. Children can learn ways to develop their problem-solving abilities to face and cope with anxiety-provoking situations. Cognitive Behaviour Modification focuses on teaching children to take control of their own behaviour.

Research shows that teaching children cognitive strategies can improve pro-social behaviour. Studies also show that CBT can reduce maladaptive behaviours like impulsivity and aggression.
