About a year ago I started a practice before the twins went to bed to stand in front of the mirror and repeat, “I am Beautiful.” This is the first Positive Affirmations for Children I started with.
Now they don’t need much more prompting before they scream with gusto “I am Beautiful.”
Why? Because more than anything I wish to start an unconscious belief in them that they are beautiful inside and out, that they have confidence, creativity and intelligent and are awesome! I only recently bought a beautiful box of affirmation cards from Louise Hay which I try to randomly read as much as possible but I can’t wait to put up my own set of affirmation cards for the twins in their new bedroom when I finally move into this house. You could probably make your own cards but I found a lovely little website called Foster Mind that sells beautiful posters and stickers supporting self-confidence and a positive belief system. Instead of the alphabet plastered to the walls what better start is at home when you wake and go to sleep.
Positive Affirmations for children are a start to build a child’s self-esteem and it is never too early to start. The feeling of self-worth starts in pre-school as your child learns and tries new things. Affirmations for Children do not have to be complicated or hard. They should be fun, easy to remember and colourful.
What Positive Affirmations for Children do you say to your child?
What a wonderful ritual that makes! And it’s great that they’ve taken to it so enthusiastically.
