The Science Behind Our Cards

The self-affirmation theory demonstrates how individuals positively affirm to maintain a sense of self-integrity. This means we can create an overarching view of our identity (ex. I am a good person) which can then be applied in various contexts and situations in our life (I am a good student and I am good daughter/son). It shows a feeling of adequacy, to be good enough to complete a task and be worthy of the praise given.

These cards can also be used in therapy with young people to enhance their self-esteem, self-concept and as a result develop their resilience.

- Drawing enables children to express feelings and emotions that can’t be verbally said.

- Colouring helps them focus their attention, spark creativity, and be relaxed.

- Listing out steps encourages reflective thinking and decision-making.

How to Use It

- Create a fun, daily practice of connection as you discuss power words that your child will carry with them throughout their life.

- Explain to your child why it's important to develop a positive affirmation habit.

- Repeat the affirmation cards 5-10 times a day in a positive way.

- Set an example by doing it yourself. Be a model. Children imitate their parents. Practice with your child or do it together as a family.

When to use it
