Therapy Activities for Kids
Guide kids in scaling their efforts and letting go of perfect with this visual sorting activity.
Inside, you’ll find two printable worksheets, one designed for children and one for teens, along with tips on how to introduce and use this activity in your sessions.
Whether you're supporting a child who's hard on themselves over small mistakes or a teen pushing to meet impossibly high standards, this tool offers a visual, approachable way to explore flexible effort and quiet perfectionistic thinking.
The beauty of the Super Sorter lies in its adaptability. Use it once to spark a new conversation or revisit it over time as kids learn to set standards that feel realistic, sustainable, and their own.
