I have a confession to make: Snoop Dogg’s Doggyland “Affirmation Song” is indeed on my morning routine Spotify playlist. There’s no shame about it; it’s exactly what I needed as a kid, and it still imparts a pearl of daily wisdom we could all benefit from.
While affirmations are an awesome, confidence-building tool for everyone, they’re especially important for kiddos who are in the process of building their worldviews and perceptions of themselves.
By nipping negative thought patterns in the bud from an early age, children can develop with confidence and kindness — and all it takes is a simple daily practice.
