50 Positive Affirmations for Bullied Kids

Last time, I shared my thoughts on how to talk to kids about bullying. I hope that you found that useful. Today, I’m going to share something even more practical: positive affirmations for bullied kids.

What are positive affirmations?

Positive affirmations are statements that you say to yourself repeatedly, usually in the present tense, with the aim of building positive self-belief and creating a positive mindset. The purpose of positive affirmations is to help you focus on positive aspects of yourself and your life, and to reprogram negative self-talk or limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. Basically, POSITIVE THINKING.

How can positive affirmations help kids?

They are quite popular with adults in the self-help space, but kids can benefit from positive affirmations just as much! How? Here are a few ways:

Positive affirmations can be a powerful tool to help children build self-confidence, self-esteem, and a positive mindset. Here are some ways positive affirmations can help kids:

1. Build self-belief: help develop a positive self-image by focusing on their strengths and abilities, and by teaching them to believe in themselves.
2. Boost resilience: help build resilience by teaching them to focus on positive aspects of their life and to overcome obstacles and challenges.
3. Manage stress and anxiety: help manage stress and anxiety by providing a positive framework for their thoughts and emotions, and by helping them develop coping strategies.
4. Improve academic performance: help develop a growth mindset by encouraging them to believe in their abilities and to see challenges as opportunities for growth.
5. Foster positive relationships: help establish positive relationships with others by encouraging them to treat themselves and others with kindness, compassion, and respect.

That is why, being the awesome aunt that you are, having these in your arsenal is a must. This article is focused on dealing with bullying, but these affirmations can be applied to many other situations.
