Cognitive ‘stuckness’ in children

Abstract

This month, I read a commentary on “Eight ways to give yourself a pep talk when you feel stuck” (Turow, 2024), which was distributed in “Six Things Psychologists are Talking About” by the American Psychological Association (May 2024). Although the commentary was geared toward adults, for me it raised thoughts about how often we address “stuckness” among children in treatment.
