These 30 affirmation cards are designed to help children build self-esteem and confidence through positive reinforcement. An affirmation is a simple, positive statement like “I Am Brave” or “I Am Kind.” These statements can help kids develop a strong sense of self by reminding them of their strengths and encouraging a positive mindset. Each card in this collection includes an affirmation, a fun illustration, and a brief explanation of what the affirmation means.
