📌 Important Notes:

• Positive affirmations should feel supportive and believable to each child. Encourage children to adapt statements to their experiences rather than expecting them to replace uncomfortable emotions with positive ones.
• Emotional expressions and experiences vary between individuals. Invite discussion and personal interpretation rather than assuming everyone experiences feelings in the same way.
