I Shine Like The Sun (daily Affirmations To Build Self-esteem In A New Generation)

A transformative book of positive affirmations to nurture self-esteem and confidence in very young children. Practising daily affirmations helps grow confidence and belief in what is possible. Stunning collage illustrations show the natural beauty that surrounds a child and a built-in mirror reflects the most uplifting affirmation: ''I love myself".

''I shine like the Sun...I am precious like the Earth....''

What better gift is there than that of self-belief and the power to shine brightly every day?

Sow the seeds of self-belief in your child at an early age with this transformative book of daily affirmations designed to build self-worth and confidence in young children. More than just phrases – they are the seeds that grow into beliefs that can be returned to in times of self-doubt. A child who believes they are ''mighty like the wind'' will face challenges with positivity and fearlessness.

The beautiful collage artwork introduces children to the most powerful elements around them – including the Sun, the Earth, fire and water – and by asking them to repeat the accompanying affirmations, you are embedding self-esteem and a connection to the natural world. 

The highlight of the book is its built-in mirror to reflect your child saying the most uplifting affirmation of all: ''I love myself. I love my world. I am happy to be me!''

• This is a positive tool for adults who want to impart in children a sense of self-love and love of the planet.

• Low self-esteem impacts every area of a person’s life. Introducing the idea of self-talk and self-love at an early age will help to establish positive mental health and the resilience to cope with life’s challenges.

• An affirmation mirror will make the phrases more impactful and the messages more powerful.

Positive, quietly demonstrating our connection to the natural world, and full of opportunities for talk, this is a lovely book to share and a valuable one.
