What is an Affirmation Card?

They are conveniently presented in a card format. They are easy to carry around and you may retrieve them as many times as you wish to reflect on a certain thought.

How do You Use Positive Affirmation Cards?

Select a random card, or look for a card that conveys a meaningful message that your child will especially benefit from.

Place them in their lunch book,…

…on their pillow or use them as a bookmark!

I will share with you an example of how we use these affirmation cards at home.

Positive statements have especially helped us in situations when anxiety and negative verbalizations start.

We take a relevant card, like the one in the picture. And I prompt my child to read it:

“I am going to be happy today”

We read it a few more times.

And then, we start to reflect on all the things that will make today a great day.

If we are having a difficult start of the day, I may even bring the affirmation card with us to school. Before we head into his classroom, I will show the card to him again and ask him:

How are you going to do today?

He then looks at the card and reads the statement:

“I am going to be happy today”.

And then I may enthusiastically say it back to him “Yes! I’m sure you are going to be happy today!”

Then, I may brainstorm again reasons why his day is going to be great.

It’s a great way for him to redirect negative thoughts.

This was just an example of how to use these cards.

We also affirmations to reinforce positive self-image (“I’m a great kid” “I am fun” “I am kind”).

How does this sound? Are you ready to try this strategy with your kids too?
