the power of affirmation💗

A few weeks ago in my class (year 3 so the children are 7/8), I had planned a series of lessons based on letter writing, where the children wrote letters to themselves for when they feel down or sad. This included a number of quick talk activities where the children either complimented each other or came up with positive affirmations for themselves to include in their letters, which we have built into lessons more frequently. It’s really helped some of the children, especially those with low self esteem - you would be surprised how many are self conscious at that age.

Just wanted to share with you all the power of positive self talk no matter what age you are - as one of the children wrote this as part of their end of year reflection for their report as the highlight of their year 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I’d encourage any parents or teachers to try building simple affirmations and positive self-talk into your routines as the difference it has made to these children is incredible 💗
