How to Use Positive Affirmations for Kids

Are you ready to help your kids get the most out of this practice?

These tips were collected from a number of books and expert advice on the subject, and are proven to work for just about anyone.

Ready to listen up?

Find a quiet place for your child to repeat the affirmations – with their mind not focused, they are likely just repeating something out loud without the words truly resonating with them
If your child can connect an emotion with the affirmation, they will be much more powerful and bring about change much faster
The best approach to affirmations is to help your child write their own – in that way, they resonate with your child on a deeper level and reflect what’s important to her or him. You can start with the ones provided here, and narrow down the list to the ones that resonate best with your child.
Just as with any habit, it gets better with repetition, and that’s especially true for positive affirmations for kids
Don’t get discouraged if their mind wanders off when they repeat the affirmations – just like with meditation, practice makes perfect
Find a format that works for your child – it could be recording them on your phone and letting them listen to the track, reading affirmations out loud, or using affirmation cards placed around your home.
