Peer Power
I. Daily Practice:
Children should be encouraged to choose a card each morning and repeat the affirmation 3-5 times to boost their confidence and remind themselves of their unique strengths as they interact with peers.
II. Mindful Breaks:
Encourage your child to take a moment during a break or in a not-easy situation to read their affirmation, reinforcing self-assurance and positive peer interactions.
III. Pair Affirmation with Action:
Have your child repeat the affirmation while practicing a calming technique, like deep breathing, to refocus on being a leader and a positive influence.
IV. End-of-Day Reflection:
At the end of the day, have discussions or reflections on how the child empowered themselves or others in their peer group using the affirmation.
V. Journaling Peer Moments:
Encourage your child to write or draw about a moment when they felt proud of their interactions.
VI. Weekly Empowerment Focus:
Have your child choose one affirmation each week as their personal mantra to focus on building confidence, empathy, and leadership in their peer group.
VII. Visualization:
While repeating the affirmation, have the child close their eyes and imagine themselves confidently leading, helping, and connecting positively with friends.
