Affirmations are a quick, easy (and free!) intervention for children who are working on building their self-esteem. These positive messages can foster a growth mindset. Affirmations can be especially impactful for children who have excellent self-awareness skills. Especially when there is a gap between their potential and what they can do. When a child recognizes a challenge (whether it is listening to the teacher or sharing with a friend), they can withdraw from the activity. This limits their practice and ultimately growing skills in that area.

Affirmations for Relationships: • Reciprocal play and communication can be challenging for many children with developmental delays. The back and forth nature of conversation and the inability to control the other individual can make for a difficult scenario. These Affirmations for Children will help children see their ability to interact with others in a positive light. • I am a kind friend. • I can help my friends. • I am curious about other people. • I am surrounded by grown-ups who care about me.
{{{ • Affirmations for Regulation: • These will look different depending on what tools the child uses to regulate and what language they respond best to. The point of these affirmations is to help the child understand that they have control over their body and how they feel, and can make positive changes to make their body feel good. • I can take a deep breath. • I am peaceful. • I can create a quiet moment. • I can ask for a movement break when I need to move my body. • I can talk about my feelings.
{{{ • Affirmations for Executive Functioning: • If we want our children to be as independent as possible, we need to be sure to give them a mindset to empower them to try when things are tricky or present a challenge. These affirmations are great for children of all ages and abilities: • I can do it. • I can ask for help. • I am a problem-solver. • I am flexible.
Affirmations for Any Day: • Starting each day with a positive affirmation can create a growth mindset and build resilience for when any challenges inevitably arise. When children are empowered, feel in control, and their self-esteem is nurtured, they are better able to access the higher level skills that help keep them at their best. • I will do my best. • I will make today the best day ever. • I can make good choices. • I listen to what others have to say. • I am safe and cared for. • I am _________ (insert something special and unique about your child here).
