Activities

• Self-talk during daily activities 

Share your positive self-talk. “I’m not giving up even though I am frustrated. I can do this.” Suggest positive self-talk when you see your child is reluctant to try something new. Whisper in their ear, “Estelle, I know you can do it! Tell yourself, ‘I can do it!’ 

• Affirmation bracelet 

Turn a blank paper horizontally and write your own encouraging word or phrase.  Add colours and design the paper and cut it into strips. Wrap the paper around your waist and tape, glue or staple the two ends together.
