What are daily affirmations and how can kids benefit from them?

Daily affirmations are simple positive statements you tell yourself or your child every day. This small investment in positive thinking can have a big impact on their well-being.  Positive thinking is especially beneficial for children as they build their self-image and learn how to navigate their feelings.

“Research has proven that we believe what we are told—meaning, if you tell your kids they are amazing, it is more than likely they will act that way.

Positive affirmations “impact both the conscious and subconscious areas of the brain,” influencing your child’s “internal voice”— the one that narrates and monitors how they are doing throughout the day.

This internal voice is an important factor in determining how your children respond to situations. Daily affirmations mold your child’s inner thoughts and facilitate the development of their key self-regulation skills.

How to do daily affirmations with kids

Set aside five minutes at a specific time every day and have your child get involved in choosing the two to four affirmations from this coloring book that they want to work on for the day. From there, you can have them color in the affirmation or write down the affirmations (if they’re old enough to do so), or just say them aloud together.

One great way to reinforce these habits is for you to also choose affirmations for yourself and participate in the ritual alongside your child, so you’re modeling the behavior rather than simply imposing it.

If your child is having a hard time choosing affirmations, or if there’s something specific you think your child really needs to hear that day, feel free to suggest an affirmation.  Or just ask them to flip through this book quickly and just pick any affirmation that looks interesting to them!  Now that you know what to do, check out these great positive affirmations inside this coloring book to help you and your child get started.
