Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations can be a powerful tool for building self-confidence, fostering a positive mindset, and improving overall mental wellbeing in children.
Affirmations are positive things you can say to yourself to feel good, like ‘I am smart’ or ‘I can do it!’
Repeating positive words, children can train their brain to believe in themselves and feel more confident.
How to incorporate a daily affirmation routine
Create a daily routine where your child says their affirmations in the morning before school. This can help set a positive tone for the day and boost their mindset. You could suggest:
For Confidence:
“I am brave, and I can face challenges.”
“I am good at learning new things.”
For Kindness and Friendship:
“I am a kind friend, and I make others feel happy.”
“I am a good listener and help others.”
For Calmness and Relaxation:
“I am calm and can take deep breaths to feel better.”
“I am in control of my feelings.”
For Self-Esteem:
“I am proud of who I am.”
“I am unique, and I love being me.”
By embedding positive affirmations into everyday life, you can create a supportive and encouraging environment that helps develop a healthy mindset, resilience, and self-esteem.
