Thanks so much for the tip Denis – for me your link didn’t work so I went a googling – I found Mr Sommerskov’s fantastic resources here

Enjoy watching your children flourish and become more self assured with affirmations.

Positive affirmations can indeed help children both relax and build stronger self esteem. The challenge is to get the children to say the affirmations with conviction. Carsten Sommerskov from Denmark has developed a unique approach to this problem: he has developed a series of relaxing adventure stories that parents can download and play for their kids http://www.worldesteem.com The very cool thing about these stories is that kids listen to a great adventure story while at the same time being exposed to positive affirmations. The kids love the stories and want to hear them again and again. Such repetition of course only enhances the positive effect of the affirmations. Parents are reporting that their children are happier and more self confident after listening to the stories. Proof positive that affirmations help kids develop healthy self esteem.

Thanks for providing a few resources for teachers and parents. I love when we share our wealth of knowledge – what works and what doesn’t. I’ll have to check out these books at the library.

What a wonderful post! I love using affirmations in our yoga classes. The children soon learn that certain yoga poses have powerful energies associated with them and I see that carried into life as well. I love the reminder notes suggestion. A few books focused on the topic of affirmations for children that I use often:
I Believe in Me, A Book of Affirmations, by Connie Bowen
I Think, I Am: Teaching Kids the Power of Affirmations, by Louise Hay
Incredible You and Unstoppable Me are also great discussion starting books by Wayne Dyer.

Beautiful topic and a good reminder! I’ve also been taught that thoughts are pictures first, and picturing positive images – what we want, not what we don’t want – helps us believe the words we’re saying.

My self-talk often falls to feeling like I’m behind schedule – which is funny because I set the schedule in the first place. I tell myself that things will be done at the exact right time and see myself enjoying my work and the creativity of it, having all the time I want to enjoy it.

I’m agree with the first comment – that affirmations are powerful for all ages.
