Terrific Two's

As many other parents, with children reaching the age of two, I was often warned about the famous TERRIBLE TWOS. I could not help thinking to myself what a terrible affirmation that sets the stage for parents to expect terrible behavior from their children. It’s true that the age of 2 is a challenging one, for both toddlers and parents, however if we start out by naming it as terrible twos from the very beginning, we are not setting the best mindset to face this challenge. It’s true that around this age, as a parent you get the feeling that the words you use the most are No, Dont and Its not OK. So I found myself searching for the right words, the right phrases that would educate them but at the same time wouldnt subconsciously hurt their self esteem It wasnt easy at first but finally found that by simply translating to toddler language the same affirmations we use as adults, we could start as early on as possible to teach them to have a positive mindset and boost their self esteem. With these affirmations we can turn the scale around so that the positive messages we send our children outweigh the other ones (nos, donts, it’s not ok, etc).

This book includes 10 positive affirmations for children with fun and colorful illustrations to help explain them, and also a brief description for parents to use. Hopefully these affirmations will help BOOST THEIR SELF ESTEEM as soon as they start to say their very FIRST WORDS.
