Affirmations For Kids: How To Encourage Positive Thinking

It's smart to teach children how to motivate themselves because a good pep talk can help them get through tough times. Positive affirmations for kids or brief, upbeat phrases that kids can repeat to themselves (such as daily affirmations) are one way to accomplish this. Understanding the power of words can be a crucial component in the development of self-esteem in children, particularly those who struggle with confidence.

So, how are you going to put this into action? 

1.      You and your child should chose a few affirmations together and review them at a specific time each day, such as before bed or in the morning. 

2.      Positive affirmations must be believable in order for them to be effective.

3.      Be sure to include character traits and values that are significant to you and your child. 

4.      Encourage your child to develop a routine of positive affirmations by providing them with visual cues like a list displayed on their bathroom mirror. 

5.      Be selective regarding the number of positive affirmations they focus on because they are meant to be repeated daily.

6.      Because personal values should be reflected in positive affirmations and may change over time, be ready for your child to create new ones as their priorities change.
