Why use these back-to-school affirmations in Spanish with your child?
A few months back, I created a set of 40 positive affirmations in Spanish for kids and they were such a big hit, not only in my household but with all of my awesome readers and buyers.
You might be asking, what are positive affirmations?
In that post, I go into more details about what positive affirmations are and their benefits, but to sum things up, positive affirmations are brief phrases that are thought or said aloud to boost self-confidence and rid the brain of negative thoughts.
They are verbal exercises that can be practiced daily or weekly to improve the mind and rid it of negative, self-sabotaging thoughts.

With that said, going to school for the first, second, third, or tenth time can produce lots of emotions in your child. Happiness, fear, sadness etc. So using back-to-school affirmations at home on a daily basis can encourage positive talk and boost your child’s self-esteem throughout the school day.
