There is never an ideal time for parents to express their love and support for their children through words of affirmation. This should be a way of life.
Affirmative words eliminate negative thoughts as well as build self-esteem in children. It’s never too much to shower your child with doses of these words. Children who hear these often from their parents are more likely to feel loved, valued, and appreciated.
Here are some helpful affirmative words you could use:
- I love you (child’s pet name).
- You are special.
- You are multi talented.
- I believe in you.
- I am proud of you.
- You are a champion.
- I am blessed to be your parent.
- I love your honesty with me.
- You are the best.
- You are great at what you do.
- You are unstoppable.
- You are loved for who you are.
- You are a blessing to our family.
- You have all it takes to be great.
- You are a natural winner.
- Make the most of today.
- All you need is within you.
- You are stronger than you think.
- You are getting closer to achieving your goals.
- You are constantly growing into a better person.
- Be happy, today is a beautiful day.
Children need to hear over and over again what makes them special and strong. Affirmative words from parents to children create a growth mindset in children, and helps them to truly believe in themselves.
So what are you speaking to your child?
