Affirmations are very powerful positive statements that if repeated they can reinforce the belief and or behavior. When used consistently positive affirmations can be very beneficial for children with sensory differences.
Daily positive affirmations boost a child's self-esteem because they focus on their positive traits. Affirmations can help children see themselves in a positive way and this can improve their confidence.
If you ask your child to repeat daily positive affirmations daily and make them a part of their routine and they start to practice positive thinking than they can focus more on the good things in their life and their personal positive traits.
