by Douglas Bloch, M.A., with Jon Merritt, M.S.

Affirmations are more than just words. They can heal hurts, build self-esteem, and inspire us to face life with confidence and courage. You can influence the "self-talk" of the children in your life. Our world is filled with stress, pressures and fears. Children need support and encouragement from adults - and they need to know how to affirm themselves. Help the children in your care talk to themselves in a "yes" voice (positive, spontaneous, creative, and joyful) rather than in a critical, negative "no voice." This book makes affirmations easy to understand and use with children of all ages in all kinds of situations. It also includes affirmations for adults.
