Morning affirmations – start your day remembering your strengths

What you need 

• A mirror 

What to do 

• Look in the mirror together.   
• Tell your child some of the positive things you think about them, and then get them to repeat these as affirmations.   
• You can make up any affirmations which feel good to you.
• Some simples ones to use are, “I am kind.” “I am funny.” “I am loved.”   
• Think of some for yourself, too, so your child can see how you remember the positive things about yourself.   
• Make them part of your daily routine, perhaps saying them when getting dressed in the morning, or as part of your child’s bedtime routine.
