What are Positive Affirmations?

Positive affirmations are positive statements or phrases that you recite out loud about yourself. Positive affirmation examples would be “I can handle anything that comes my way” or “My mistakes help me learn and grow”.

By saying positive things you can motivate yourself, build your confidence as well as your self-esteem.

Why Do Positive Affirmations With Kids?

Young kids are very impressionable whether it be negative or positive things they are hearing. By having kids do daily positive affirmations you are helping them overpower any negative self-talk and building their confidence.

A couple of years ago I started doing daily positive affirmations with my children. I say roughly 5-10 positive affirmations that my kids repeat after me. It has become part of our morning routine.

One of the positive affirmations I would often times say is “I can do hard things.”

I didn’t realize the impact of our daily affirmations until one day when I was at the park with my two-year-old. She was climbing a piece of equipment meant for the bigger kids and I asked her if she would like help. My daughter replied “No Mommy, I can do hard things” and continued to climb to the top all by herself.

It was eye-opening to see how powerful daily affirmations could be and watch my toddler use an affirmation to motivate and believe in herself.

How To Do Daily Positive Affirmations

There are many ways to do daily positive affirmations with kids. One way to do them is by saying a positive affirmation out loud and having your child repeat it after you.

This is the way I do it with my children each morning before school. I choose 5-10 daily affirmations and have them repeat each one back to me.

I find it helpful to do it this way because I can customize the affirmation for each of my daughters based on what they may be going through at that time.

Another way to do daily positive affirmations is by taping up positive affirmation cards throughout the house and having your kids say them out loud as they come across them such as by their toothbrush, towel, dresser, etc. You could even put them in their lunch box as a reminder when they are at school.

A third way to do daily affirmations is by putting affirmation cards in a jar and having your child draw one out every morning and then saying it out loud 3x.

*When doing these daily positive affirmations with your kids make sure you also do them yourself. Not only are they beneficial for you but your kids are hearing you talk positively about yourself.

What To Do When Your Kids Don’t Want To Do Their Daily Positive Affirmations?

There are days when my kids are just not in the mood to do daily positive affirmations. When this happens, I still do the affirmations with them.

I will say the affirmation out loud like normal and give a pause to have them repeat it. If they do not repeat the affirmation after me, I then repeat the affirmation for them but replace the word “I” with their name.

Regardless, of whether your child says the positive affirmation, they still hear the positive statements about themselves. They also hear that you believe these great things about them which can be impactful as well.

How Can Teachers Use Positive Affirmations?

If you are a teacher, then doing daily positive affirmations with your students can be a great addition to your morning routine. Make a positive affirmation wall and then fill it with positive affirmation cards (check out my free printable below). Then, each day have your students choose an affirmation card to share out loud with the class.

Positive Affirmations Printable Poster

positive affirmations

I created these positive affirmation signs that you can print and frame to hang in your child’s room or classroom. There are a few different designs and sizes to choose from.

For my kids’ rooms, I used the 16×20 size and printed them using Shutterfly. On the Shutterfly website, I went to Large Format Prints and clicked on the 16×20 size.

Then, I uploaded the 16×20 positive affirmation printable. You’ll have the option of glossy, matte, or cardstock. I ordered the cardstock but you could also print using either of the other two options.

Once you have your positive daily affirmation sign printed then place it in a frame like this. Hang it in a place your child will see often such as in their bedroom or bathroom.
