Affirmations are important for a child's development, especially when they start using them early. Studies show that they can boost self-esteem and help kids bounce back from challenges, which makes it easier for them to recognize their strengths.
The "I Am" Poster is made to remind clients of their abilities and encourage them to believe in themselves. With big letters and bright colors, it showcases powerful words like "brave," "unique," and "amazing" to help them embrace these positive qualities in themselves.
Displaying this poster can help kids and teens improve their self-perception, especially as they consistently dwell on positive affirmations. It can be placed in their room and they can be reminded of their worth and value when facing challenges or feeling unsure.
To put these affirmations into practice, they can say them out loud as daily reminders or write their own “I Am” statements in a journal. They can also create a personal positivity wall by adding drawings, notes, or quotes that reflect their unique strengths.
Our Daily Affirmations handout provides additional affirmations in an engaging way.
