📌 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.
