Positive Thinking for Children with Top Affirmation Video Example
Thank you, DMC for this delightful example of positive thinking for children. The affirmation video has earned the following it now has. (Enjoy the video* below).
Law of attraction 'classes' are unnecessary, especially when parents apply positive thinking for children strategies such as the following:
1. encourage a healthy self image
2. teach dealing with difficult situations in a solution oriented manner suitable for the age of the child
3. support self expression
4. encourage and enable lots of physical activity, including outdoors whenever possible.
Positive Thinking for Children In the natural course of events, children exposed to the above elements generally fare well. There are always exceptions, of course, and even those situations can be managed in a solution oriented way.(1) What makes the affirmation video here so appealing? Well, beyond the adorability factor of the child, it is clear that she was exposed to, or outright taught positive affirmations.
Is it healthy to teach children the technique of affirmations? Yes. We, as the responsible adults, have entered into a covenant to help and arm our children with the best life skills and positive, healthy strategies available. For those of you who had to learn these on your own, after 20, 30, 40 years or more of damaging, self defeating bad habits… do you not wish you would have learned the skills you are now seeking, at Jessica’s age?
I do suggest the use of A-Statements ™ as well. A-Statements are the building blocks to healthy affirmations. For example:A-Statement: I am now getting better at baseball, and my batting average is climbing. It feels great!
Affirmation: I am the top rated batter in my little league category. I am so proud of the MVP trophy I hold in my hand!
Note the difference: the A-Statement builds confidence until the child feels the Affirmation statement is realistic.
Where’s the Evidence? You would be hard pressed to find a sports team not using positive thinking for children. My daughters were in baseball as pre and young teens, and the affirmations were flying constantly from the coaches. Yes, there were some aggressive pushy statements as well, and I did not agree with that style. There is a wealth of published research on the issue of positive encouragement, and if that is not enough for you, watch one episode of Sesame Street, and notice the number of positive thinking messages and teaching moments.(2)
