The Power of Positive Affirmations

         The world is an unknown and unfamiliar territory for our children. They want to get to know it’s secrets and mechanisms whilst going through various situations, emotional experiences and psychological states. They love having fun and playing but at the same time they have to deal with great difficulties, problems, fears and worries which are hard to understand for us as parents and teachers. We often feel helpless and we don’t know what to do to ease their pain. These are the circumstances positive affirmations can help with. It is a method for positive programming, which helps children accept and control their feelings, behaviours, thoughts and stressful moments.

Why Are Positive Affirmations so Important During Childhood

A lot of research shows that we create our belief systems in childhood. This is the power of the belief that functions as our base for our whole life. This means we go through our adult life trying to experience situations which coincide with the beliefs gained in our childhood. This also means that we are often tied to the limitations of our beliefs, depending on what we have experienced in our childhood. These negative thoughts are often with us, even when we don’t realize and we call them negative beliefs.

This is why it is so important to be supportive and help children build a strong belief system with a positive attitude towards life. This way we can help our children gain strong, healthy values and positive beliefs which would allow them to gain confidence and a healthy dose of self-respect.

How Do We Use Positive Affirmations

in the “I Love My School” Project?

After the teacher has chosen an image for their classroom we create an individual photographic wallpaper in which we incorporate positive affirmations and words.

The font colour is subtle, soft and ethereal blending with the shapes and colours of the wallpaper.

The words and the affirmations are harmonized with the image and the subject taught in the particular classroom.

We create friezes with positive affirmations which we decorate the school corridors with.

The teachers use these positive affirmations during their lessons.

Every child spends between 6 and 8 hours a day at school and this creates a positive attitude of the student towards themselves and the rest of the world.

The words and affirmations leave a permanent mark in children’s subconsciousness and then they show these qualities and positive beliefs in their everyday lives.

It helps create strong value system full of virtues and self-confidence.

Below you can find a number of strong positive affirmations specially intended for children.
