Positive Affirmation Cards for Children

What are positive affirmations for children?

Positive Affirmation Cards for Children by Amy Hamilton Positive affirmations are statements you make about yourself that confirm and remind you of your attributes and potential. By repeating positive words about yourself, you will start to believe them, live them and work them out in your life. Positive affirmations are particularly important for children because children are still learning how they fit into the world. If you are looking for ways to help build your child’s self-esteem, encouraging them to think and speak positively about themselves is a great place to start.

Keeping words simple is key in helping children understand the positive affirmations they are saying, so where an adult might say “I am confident in my ability to tackle problems,” a more useful affirmation for a child is “I can solve problems.”

With attractive graphics and large text, Amy Hamilton’s Indigo Dreaming Affirmation Cards for Kids are the perfect way to make this a fun experience for kids. Here are some examples of the many positive affirmations in this card set:

I am helpful
I have choices
I enjoy challenges
I am responsible
I am respectful
I enjoy new experiences

What are inspirational affirmations for children?

Inspirational affirmations are similar to positive affirmations, but they are generally themed around something so the child can use their imagination and positive perception of external things (like animals, cosmic elements, nice places) to inspire positive and useful thoughts about themselves.

Jane Ward’s Butterfly Kisses & Dragonfly Wishes Inspirational Affirmation Cards for Children provide simple, but effective, imagery to help your children think of nice things and associate them with good behaviour and self-esteem-boosting ways of thinking. For example, the cards feature:

Unicorns: It’s time to come out and play. So kick up your heels and have fun. Be daring!
Turtles: Like us, sometimes you hide in your shell, but ... if you pop your head out, you’ll see others just like you.
Shooting Stars: Reach for the stars! Believe in yourself and what you can do and remember nothing is impossible.
Puppies: We like to play and explore, it helps us learn something new each day.
