Positive thinking is a powerful tool for everyone. Positivity can improve your health, help you manage stress, and make better choices. It’s a good skill for kids to learn early on because it’s tough being a kid. The goal is to teach kids to focus on positive things. Positive thinking starts with the voice in our head, so we need to train it to speak life.

  1. I am enough.
  2. All of my problems have solutions.
  3. I can control my own happiness.
  4. I can get through anything.
  5. I believe in myself.
  6. I am proud of myself.
