Writing an affirmation for each of my children on an ongoing basis has become one of the most important skills I learned as a parent, and as a teacher. Here’s how to do it. Choose one of your children, perhaps one with whom you are having some difficulty. THREE-PART AFFIRMATION (Child’s name) is a child of God (the universe, or whatever you envision your own relationship to the creator). I see ____ (a positive statement of the problem resolved; for example, “I see Johnny able to focus on what we are doing,” or “I see Susie playing happily with the other children.”) I am thankful for ____’s wonderful ____ (a positive trait; for example, “kindness to animals,” “creativity,” “loving spirit,” “cheerfulness,” “liveliness,” “enthusiasm.” You can always find something). This affirmation is helpful in almost any interpersonal situation because it changes your attitude, instead of trying to change the other person. As your attitude changes, your relationship changes, and you both grow and flourish in it.
