Twenty positive affirmation cards each containing an “I am” statement to empower your child and help them develop the habit of positive thinking. Integrate these affirmations into your child’s daily routine by reading them together, displaying them or popping them in their lunchbox. The set comes in a drawstring bag with four extra blank cards for personalized affirmations and a bonus puzzle on the back!

These Affirmation Cards were designed with the intent to shape positive thinking patterns, build self-esteem and resilience in your little one, assuring them that anything they choose to believe has the potential to become a reality.

We live in a world full of uncertainties but one thing is for sure, it’s never too early to start helping our little ones develop mental stamina and positive thinking patterns that can catapult them toward endless growth, all they have to do is believe they CAN!

This might just benefit you just as much as your little one… When practiced together one-on-one or as a family, it becomes a true bonding and strengthening exercise, but first you’ll need to understand what they are for and how they work.

Helpful ways to explain and discuss affirmations with your child:

• “Affirmations teach you (us) new and positive ways of thinking. They can help you believe in yourself, feel happy and help you to feel better when you are angry or sad. Let’s try them and see what we think!”
• “Affirmations encourage kind and happy ways of thinking, you will remember them, and call them to mind when you need them most.”

After explaining to your child the purpose and benefits of reading and discussing positive affirmations, it can be helpful to place the cards around your home in areas where they will see them.

Great ways to include affirmation cards into everyday:

• On the mirror in their bathroom (something to read whilst brushing their teeth!)
• In your child’s lunch boxes (a beautiful encouraging note or reminder)
• On their bedside table (a positive way to wake and start the day)
• In the kitchen for all to see (discuss how your child feels and thinks about the card they have read.)
• Pop one into your older child’s high school diary or ask them to put it in their locker, so they feel your connection and support during the school day

Tips For Younger Children: For our “Little Minds” under the age of 5 or 6 when they’re not yet reading, you can read the words on each card during bath time, bedtime, over dinner, or chat about them on a car trip. This works very well at this age and many have found this process of incorporating reading affirmation cards into their daily or weekly routine a beautiful way of staying connected to their little ones.

Tips for Primary Age Children: You may like to read your affirmations together. It can be a beautiful bedtime ritual or encourage your children to “turn over” a new card each morning and come and tell you what their card says. You may find that this allows you the chance to discuss emotions or issues that they may be experiencing, opening doors for conversation.

Tips for Teens: Encourage your teen to read their card out loud (even just to themselves) as it is by far more powerful when read and “heard”. Repetition and frequency is critical. We all know the power of repetition when building new habits. Just before bed at night and first thing in the morning are the two most powerful times to engage with affirmations.

The simple act of reading these positive and encouraging words will help our children’s beautiful souls affirm positive beliefs, creating a fantastic foundation that will help our children to internalize good values, which allows them to develop confidence and a healthy dose of self-esteem.
