Your TRUSTED guide to supporting children with anxiety and overwhelm

How can I use affirmations with my child?

Affirmations are one of the simplest and most powerful tools you can give your child. They help children shape the way they think, feel and talk to themselves. Just a few words spoken with belief and kindness can build self-esteem, calm anxiety and create a more positive mindset.

You can use affirmations any time of day. Try them in the morning to start the day with confidence, in the car on the school run, before a test, or when emotions feel big and overwhelming. The more your child hears these words, the more they start to believe them.

Here’s a lovely way to begin. Sit together, close your eyes and imagine someone you love looking at you with warmth and kindness. Hear them say how proud they are of you, how much they believe in you, and how special you are.

Now choose an affirmation and repeat it together ten times. You can say it aloud, whisper it, write it down or even turn it into a drawing or movement.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

I am confident and I believe in myself

I relax and know that everything is OK

I am safe and loved

Today I choose to be calm and kind

I can handle whatever comes my way

Affirmations aren’t just words. They’re little reminders that your child is capable, strong and worthy. Over time, they become part of your child’s inner voice.

Our Believe and Achieve audio is a beautiful way to bring affirmations into daily life. You can play it during quiet time, at bedtime or even in the background while your child is playing or doing homework.

Use affirmations every day and watch your child grow in confidence and calm, one word at a time.
