Daily affirmations are a great way to build children’s self-confidence and self-esteem. They can also help children and tweens unlock their true potential by helping them to achieve their goals and fight off negative thoughts.

What are positive affirmations?

Affirmations are positive statements that you can think of or say that will help bring about positive changes. Saying affirmations, seeing them or colouring them in can help you believe the positive words and change thought patterns. Many people encourage you to say the positive affirmations aloud in a bathroom mirror, it helps you believe the words.

Affirmations can be said at any time of day although many choose to start the day with them first thing in the morning. Then at the end of the day reflect on what you are grateful for each day.

When I was teaching I would often see children and teenagers who lacked confidence, one approach to overcome these negative thoughts is to replace the phrases and limiting beliefs with positive affirmations. These colouring sheets can positively impact children’s well-being and mental health with regular use.

I have written previously about good role modes for children to learn about and I have created a list of 101 Positive Affirmations for teenagers as I am a strong advocate that role models and daily positive affirmations are an amazing way to motivate and encourage young people.

Therefore I decided to turn my attention to colouring pages for younger children. These 12 printables are free and can be used by teachers in the classroom or for use at home. My 12-year-old tween is always printing off colouring sheets and these positive affirmations are a powerful tool for giving our young people empowering messages such as ‘I am proud of myself.’

Young children start out so positive but over time many lose this strong belief in their own superpowers. If we think about when children learn to walk, they fall over but they keep getting back up which shows their resilience and courage. The same applies to how affectionate children are, they keep giving love and showing their true emotions. They laugh when happy, cry when sad and these feelings are shown in their glory.

Over time children lose some of these natural instincts as they become more conscious of what is happening around them. As they get older the media, social media and the things they see around them can negatively impact on their self-belief.

We can help children’s positive energy and positive outlook with affirmations. Therefore to make it even easier for children to start using positive self-talk, we’ve created 12 FREE colouring printable affirmations pdf sheets. These printable affirmations can increase positive thoughts and help our children develop a growth mindset that will serve them well throughout their entire life.
