Do you have any affirmations that you say together as a family? Do you have any personal affirmations that you tell yourself?

This past week, God really impressed on my heart that this was an important piece missing from our family’s morning routine. We pray every morning before school but we did not have any affirmations so I spent time in prayer and focusing on what this would look like for our Trybe. The above is the end result….

Let me know what I need to add or change, share your family affirmations in the comments!

Affirmations can be a powerful tool, especially for kids, because they help shape their mindset and reinforce positive beliefs about themselves. Here’s why affirmations are beneficial:

1. Builds Confidence

Hearing and saying affirmations helps children internalize positive truths about themselves. This boosts their self-esteem and helps them face challenges with confidence.

2. Reinforces Identity

Affirmations like “I am a child of God” remind children of their spiritual identity, anchoring their worth in something unchanging rather than external validation.

3. Encourages a Positive Mindset

Starting the day with affirmations sets a positive tone, helping children focus on their strengths and approach the day with optimism and gratitude.

4. Combats Negative Thoughts

Affirmations can counteract doubts, fears, or negative self-talk by replacing them with uplifting and empowering truths.

5. Teaches Values

Affirmations often emphasize kindness, purpose, and joy, helping kids internalize values that guide their behavior and interactions with others.

6. Creates Routine and Stability

Repeating affirmations daily creates a meaningful routine, providing a sense of stability and grounding that children can carry into their day.

By using affirmations, you’re equipping your kids with tools to develop resilience, gratitude, and a strong sense of identity. These benefits can last a lifetime.
