Positive Affirmations for Kids Printable PDF | Free Download

Positive affirmations can be a simple way to help kids practice more positive self-talk. And because telling a busy parent to add one more thing to the daily routine is always helpful (ha!), I made it easy: you can download my positive affirmations for kids printable PDF and start using it right away.

These daily affirmations for kids can be used at home, in the classroom or even with teens who need some reminders that they are capable, valued and allowed to make mistakes. The positive affirmations for kids free printable is below, so you don’t have to create your own affirmation cards or spend an afternoon making them yourself. Unless that’s your thing….then have at it.

I actually started paying more attention to affirmations because of a friend of mine. He’s contributed to this site before, and he’s a teacher, pastor and NAACP leader. He started talking about daily affirmations and how much they helped him.

I value his opinion, so I tried them myself.

And then, because apparently I turn everything into a printable, I wondered: If I use positive affirmations for myself, could they help kids too? And could I make a positive affirmations printable PDF that parents and teachers could actually use?

Of course I could. So here I am. Looking for ways we can use this with kids. And I thought, why not in their lunch box? It could be a nice way to mix it up with the PDF lunch box jokes and other things.

Even if you’re not going to use them in a lunch box, why not put them at their seat at the breakfast table? I had just been hand writing them. Previously I might put a note at breakfast or lunch that said “good luck on that test today!” Now I have just changed it up a bit to an affirmation. Something like “You are going to CRUSH IT in your Basketball Game today!”

I saw how this works when my son was doing tryouts for travel basketball recently. He used to always accuse me of having “mom goggles” when I’d say something like “you are just as good at basketball as those kids.”

Then, I got him to say it to me in the car. Guess what? He made the cut. I firmly believe that him saying it out loud helped give him the confidence. No, one printable notecard doesn’t outweigh hours of basketball practice, but mindset matters. And, we’re learning more all the time about how our neural pathways can be changed and reinforced.

Sometimes kids need to hear the same positive message more than once. Actually, sometimes they need to hear it about 487 times before they start believing it.

That’s why I like having positive affirmations where kids can actually see them, like in a bedroom, bathroom, backpack, classroom or wherever they tend to need that little reminder.
