If you had asked me at the beginning of the year, becoming a published author, especially one of children's books, would not have been something I would have predicted. It was never part of my plan, but a natural progression on my journey in pursuit of purpose. However, in true fashion of living life like a leaf in the breeze, I allowed the tide of inspiration to guide me on my path, and here we are!
As a parent, former special educational needs teacher, health & fitness coach, and trainee hypnotherapist, I have seen first and hand the impact that a lack of self-esteem and confidence can have on children. . .and the effects that can go on to have on us in later life if not addressed and natured.
That's why I created "Animal Affirmations," an innovative and interactive book designed to help young children build positive self-esteem and confidence through the power of positive affirmations.
Both my personal and professional experience has provided me with an understanding the importance of providing children with the tools they need to succeed in life. I also know that, when dealing with children, these tools must be engaging and fun if they are to be effective. I filled "Animal Affirmations" to the brim with 50 pages of unique and engaging activities, including colouring, drawing, and self-reflection prompts, that encourage children to reflect on their strengths, positive qualities, and set goals for the future.
In my most recent venture of training to become a licensed hypnotherapist specialising in self-esteem and confidence, I have become familiar with the powerful link between hypnotherapy and affirmations. By positively programming the subconscious mind with affirmations, children can learn to replace negative self-talk with a more positive and empowering inner voice. This shift in self-perception can have a profound impact on their mental and emotional well-being, promoting feelings of self-confidence, resilience, and happiness, as well as improved academic performance, increased social confidence, and a greater sense of motivation.
As a parent, I understand the importance of supporting children's mental and emotional growth and feel truly inspired to help support parents in providing their children with the necessary tools to develop and grow into emotionally balanced and well rounded adults with high self-esteem and confidence, supporting them in fulfilling their full potential and living their lives to the fullest, without the many limitations that low self-esteem can present us with. My hope is that Animal Affirmations will help bring awareness to the importance of nurturing children's emotional growth and provide them with some tools in which they can do so.
