When Everything Feels Like a Catastrophe
Your child jumps to the worst-case scenario for every small problem
Steps
- Validate first: 'I can see this feels really big right now'
- Use a worry scale from 1-10: 'Is this a 2 (small worry) or an 8 (big worry)?'
- Help them think of what's MOST LIKELY to happen, not worst case
- Ask: 'What would you tell your friend if they were worried about this?'
- Practice with everyday situations when they're calm, not mid-panic
What you need
A worry scale visual, calm moments to practice
Why it works
ADHD and autistic brains often default to worst-case thinking because they process threats more intensely and struggle to weigh probabilities. The worry scale teaches proportional thinking — a skill that doesn't come naturally but can be built through practice during calm moments.
Age guidance
Most effective from age 6 onwards when children can begin to understand scaling concepts. Younger children benefit more from validation and co-regulation than cognitive tools.
Real-world example
A parent introduced a 1-10 worry scale and their child rated everything at 10 for the first week. By week three, they started differentiating: 'losing my PE kit is a 3, but the dog being sick is a 7.' The scale gave them a language for proportion that they'd never had before.
Troubleshooting
- Never dismiss their worry. 'That's silly' shuts down communication
- If catastrophic thinking is constant, consider CBT-informed support
- Writing worries down and putting them in a 'worry box' can help externalise them
