It’s been almost a year since we’ve started working from home and kids have adjusted to online learning. While we can’t deny the pandemic has definitely brought our families together, we need to keep in mind that we still need to keep each other in check. Our kids especially, need extra words of reassurance during this time of anxiety. Why not make them feel better with special words of affirmation to keep their confidence up?

Moms and dads, these are words of affirmation your kids want to hear…

2. It’s all about the journey, not the destination

Some children will feel overwhelmed at some point in their lives. They’re worried about their future and everything that comes along with it. Sometimes all they need is a little reminder to focus on the present and ensure them that the rest will follow.

3. It’s OK to cry
