What Matters Most is a beautiful reminder about the power of positive thinking, and fully embracing your unique self, no matter what. In this heartfelt story, a mother takes her daughter on a journey of self-acceptance through positive affirmations and leading by example to practice kindness towards herself and others. Learn some affirmations to share with your children and their peers, and help them embrace their unique qualities so they understand that "what I think about myself is what matters most!"

AFFIRMATION ACTIVITY INCLUDED ✨️

Affirmations are statements that confirm a positive belief about yourself. It's easy to be too focused on the negative things in life, so it takes practice to pay close attention to the positive things instead. Affirmations often start with "I am..." and are written and spoken in the present tense (now) and not in the future tense (later). You can write or say your own personal affirmations every day! They are small actions that can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself and your abilities. Use the next page to write out your very own affirmations! Tear out the sheet and attach it to your bedroom wall or a mirror you see regularly. Repeat your affirmations every night before bed. Because...what matters most is the way you speak and think about yourself.
