What is an Affirmation… and why are they so useful for children?
An Affirmation is a statement confirming something to be true. These are positive statements, usually in present tense. Positive statements are a powerful tool in changing our mindset and views in life. What affirmations and Mantras do for children is introduce them to positive self-talk.
From a very young age, some children may already start developing negative thought patterns of not being good or worthy enough. If they are constantly told that their handwriting isn’t neat enough, or to keep quiet in class, or to finish their homework – they become susceptible to believing that what they are doing is not good enough.
By introducing Mantras and Affirmations, we teach children how to use positive self-talk, positivity as well as building confidence and self-esteem. It is really lovely to add movements to your affirmations- again use your imagination but also, include the children and let them come up with ideas.
