POSITIVE BIBLICAL AFFIRMATIONS

Teach your child to speak life over everything concerning them
On a day-to-day basis it is good for your child to encourage themselves by changing the pattern of their thoughts.
King David realized this when he faced a tough and disheartening situation in the Bible. Instead of reacting in weakness and trepidation to the compromising circumstance, he decided to do the opposite.
1 Samuel 30:6 (KJV)
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
Let your child affirm the truth of God’s Word by reciting scriptures
Throughout the Bible, there are so many precious promises and assurances that your child can remember each day. Your child can meditate on them in order to build up their confidence in God. Do you know that hope is powerful? To hope is to patiently expect the best out of a situation and if your child has this mindset daily they can surely overcome.
Romans 8:25 (KJV)
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
In the war against your child’s mind, it is essential for them to know who they truly are in Christ and how to fight negative thoughts that come from Satan.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV)
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
On the right is a picture that highlights an A-Z of some Biblical affirmations. Your child can use these to remind themselves of how special and priceless they are in God's eyes.

Change your thoughts, change your words, change your actions, change your life.
Here are some practical steps to teach your child to value and appreciate who God made them to be.
Firstly, buy books and toys that represent your child accurately and use these tools to teach them about self-acceptance.
This is such an important step because they are visual and powerful tools to instil value in the heart of your child. These tools teach them that God made and fashioned them with intent and purpose and their young heart will beam with delight at the thought of this. As the famous hymn goes:
Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
