At Stepping Stone School, we believe in the power of positive affirmations to inspire and motivate children. These affirmations help children build resilience, self-esteem, and a positive outlook on life. By integrating these powerful statements into their daily routines, children can learn to overcome challenges and develop a strong sense of self-worth.

Positive Affirmations for Children

Motivational positive affirmations can be incredibly empowering for children, especially when they face challenges. Helping children shift from a mindset of “I can’t” to “I can try.” Encouraging children to ask for help and gradually try things on their own can be highly motivating. Here are some affirmations to help children build this mindset:

• I am a hard worker.
• I can do hard things.
• I can do whatever I set my mind to.
• I can think of great ideas.
• I can get through anything.
• It’s OK if I make mistakes.
• I am safe.
• I am capable.
• I get better every single day.
• I’m able to do this.

Helping children shift from a mindset of “I can’t” to “I can try” additionally, teaching children to use the word “yet” can make a significant difference. Try encouraging children to say, “I can’t do that, yet,” instead of “I can’t do that,” which fosters a growth mindset.

Positive Affirmations About Love and Appreciation

Teaching children to feel love and appreciation for themselves and the world around them is crucial for their emotional well-being. Building neural pathways for love, appreciation, and gratitude is a gift. Here are some affirmations that can help:

• I deserve to be loved.
• I have people who love and respect me.
• I am grateful for who I am.
• I am worthy of love.
• I accept myself for who I am.
• I am beautiful inside and out.
• I am unique and special.
