Positive Affirmations for Children

Many of us, as adults, struggle with limiting beliefs and thought patterns that can be attributed to our childhood conditioning. Somehow we have adopted negative societal beliefs. While we look for ways to help ourselves, it also sparks the importance of teaching these practices to our children, so they have the tools that we now try to master in adulthood. Ever since my children were little positive affirmations have been apart of our lives. Positive affirmations help to empower one’s thinking. We have posters in our home that are displayed for everyone to read, and even handwriting worksheets they still use every day in our homeschool. Over the past few months, we worked on creating positive affirmation cards in our homeschool, and they love going through them and reading them every day. Before we dive deeper into Positive Affirmations for Children, please take a moment to pin this post to your growth mindset board.

Helping our children by instilling good values, confidence, focus, and belief is something we can all do as parents and caregivers. Positive affirmations for children can do so much to assist them in developing healthy self-esteem and a growth mindset. Allowing them to create their own positive affirmations can also help them target whatever issues they are struggling with, whether it is school work, self-love, or what have you.

How to use positive affirmations with your children

Start by affirming these affirmations to yourself, it is always a good idea to be a role model for anything you want your children to do. I got invested in affirmations for myself before I got my children involved. The next thing is to say these affirmations to your children, daily or weekly, take a moment to look your child in the eyes and affirm them. You can say something simple like ” You are loved.” “You are enough.” ” You are worthy of good things.” “You are so smart.” “You are so creative.” etc. You can end this little love session with a real hug, physical touch releases neurochemicals like oxytocin.

Post them! Grab some post it notes or washable markers and place affirmations on the mirror, When they look into the mirror, they will be reminded of all the ways they matter and make a difference in this world.

Sing and Dance It out! We all have to navigate the blues at some time, whether in the shower, car, getting ready in the morning, we use singing and dancing to lift our spirits and make things like household chores a lot more fun. Try turning your favorite affirmations into songs.

Get Creative! Create affirmation cards with your children.
