It is my prayer/affirmation that children and parents learn the power of the spoken word (Affirmations) and develop stronger, a more positive framework and relationships.

Positive Affirmations for Children. The most important gift we can ever give our children is how to use the power of the spoken word, Affirmations.

Watch this wonderful video about "Passing it On" and the ripple effect it has on others.

Teaching your child to use the power of Affirmations at a young age is one of the best gifts you can ever give them.

Although we start life with simple, childlike faith, we become programmed by limited, negative thinking. Teach your children to clear their minds of worry and think happy, positive thoughts before going to school or any time during the day.

I read that current brain research shows that when a person is tied up in his or her emotions, he or she is unable to access the part of the brain where thinking and learning occur.

By making positive, affirming statements to your children, you program and encourage them in a positive way, enhancing their self-esteem and their faith in themselves.

Start encouraging your young children to make small choices and decisions. For example, allow them to decide what dress or shirt to wear. When they get older, they will have the basic decision-making framework in place to make big, important decisions.

During the first years of school, children are concerned mainly with how they feel. Teach your children to use the power of Affirmations and affirmative thinking, to assist them in creating healthy relationships with others while they are still young.

Say Affirmations directly to them. A child's inner talk does not just happen; it is born of what children hear from other people. Children absorb words, feelings, actions, and beliefs from you and others and they internalize them.

When children hear words of praise and encouragement, they learn to love, praise, and respect themselves. If they hear words of criticism and blame, they learn to feel ashamed and worthless and they blame themselves. Affirm and validate the positive qualities and unique talents in your child.

You can teach your child to watch his or her thoughts, words, actions, and manners, and use positive Affirmations to help them love and respect self and others. Affirmations of unconditional love go right to the core of children; they thrive on words of encouragement about how smart they are and what good marks they get on their report cards.

Children can be programmed negatively in subtle ways. When you tell your children to be careful, for example, you may be implying that the world is full of great big boogiemen lurking around every corner and tree. It is extremely important to talk to children about the real dangers, such as speaking to strangers or taking rides or candy from people they do not know. Do refrain from filling their innocent minds with thoughts of doom and fear.

To further enhance your child's positive outlook, be careful to avoid using the word but. For example, if you say to your child, I love you but you are lazy and untidy, you are affirming your child's negative behaviour and cancelling out the positive statement of love. Affirm the child's special attributes, saying, "You have a great smile, your skin is silky, or your teeth are so perfectly formed." You can always find something positive to say to your child.

Affirm your children's worth non-verbally, with a hug, a loving look, and by spending quality time with them. Words are important but the need to be mothered by the action of love is of utmost importance. When you have congruence with words, feelings, and actions, your Affirmations ring true. Affirm positively on a regular basis and your child will internalize the words you say.
