What's a way to truly connect with your children? And how do you actually have a conversation where your children feel truly understood? A great way to connect with your children is through affirmation cards. These cards aren't just a way to start a conversation, but also to create a deep bond. But how do you use affirmation cards?
What are affirmation cards?
At Dreamfully, we fully believe in the power of affirmation cards. These cards help children embrace positive thoughts and build self-confidence. Especially between the ages of 3 and 12, children are highly dependent on their parents. It's a time of growth, learning, and discovery, but also a vulnerable time. Parents play a vulnerable role in this time, providing safety, love, and guidance. This forms a strong foundation for a child's self-confidence and emotional development.
Affirmation cards play a wonderful role in this. They're a tool for parents to easily connect with their child. By reading and discussing an affirmation card together, you can let your child know they are strong, valuable, and unique!
Sample affirmations:
-
“I am strong and courageous.”
-
“I'm allowed to make mistakes, that's how I learn.”
-
“My feelings are allowed to be there, and I can always share them.”
-
“I am loved as I am.”
-
“I can dream big and take small steps.”
-
“I am kind and treat others with respect.”
-
“Every day I learn and grow.”
-
“I am proud of who I am and what I can do.”
-
“I am unique, and that makes me special.”
The lucky card set including affirmations
We believe that true growth and connection come from a holistic approach. That's why, in addition to affirmation cards, we've also created cards focused on collaboration, humor, mindfulness, and gratitude. With this approach, we hope to inspire families to connect more deeply with their children.
How do you use affirmation cards?
-
Start the day on a positive note
Start each morning by choosing an affirmation card together. You can read the text aloud and encourage your child to repeat the words.
-
Make it a game
No, affirmation cards don't have to be all serious—turn them into a game. For example, have your child pick a card and create a short story together around the affirmation. For example, if the card says, "I am brave," you can pretend together that you're a little adventurer discovering new things.
-
Use them in difficult moments
If your child is going through an uncertain or challenging time, you can draw a card together that reminds them of their strength and qualities. Have them repeat the affirmation and talk together about what it means to them.
-
Create an evening routine
Begin your time together by drawing a happiness card. Read the card together and then discuss the message or question it contains. After the card moment, you can grab Meddy and begin the meditation. This is a wonderful way to create positive thoughts.
