How to make a positive message stick šŸ’«

Art by Anni Betts from Peaceful Like a Panda
Ā 

I’ve talked about the power of positive affirmations before–how simple and fun they are to do with young children, and the science behind using them.Ā Ā 

But hmmm….if only there was a way to reinforce this powerful effect even more?Ā 

Wait, I know. SING THEM! šŸŽ¶

I think we all know how I feel about the power of music. šŸ˜€ But don’t take my word for it–research has shown conclusively that attaching information to a melody makes it significantly easier to remember. For example, how did you learn your ABC’s? Maybe with the Alphabet Song, perhaps even before you could speak very well?Ā Ā 

Helping children internalize information by using music works brilliantly (I’m pretty confident about this, I’ve basically built my career on it). šŸ’«

ā€œI am strong. I am smart. I am kind.ā€

These are the musical messages in the new song I have for you today.Ā Ā 

Ā 

Imagine a world where children grow up internalizing these beliefs about themselves!Ā Ā 

As we gear up to head back to school (um, how is this happening already?) children can use all of the positivity and self-confidence they can get. Encouraging self-belief and a positive, I-can-do-it attitude are powerful tools to give them.Ā Ā 

Positive affirmations can reinforce that no matter what’s going on around us, we always have a choice around our mindset and our attitude! ✨

ā€œStrong, Smart, Kindā€ is from my most recent album, Songs for Peaceful Pandas Volume 1 which is a companion to my book Peaceful Like a Panda.
