One of the toughest parts about raising children is teaching them to replace negative thoughts they may have about themselves and the world with positive ones.
There have been plenty of studies, books, and TED Talks about the power of positive thinking, but it’s no easy practice for even adults to master. That’s why Alissa of New York City has made it a priority to teach her 3-year-old son Ayaan to show himself love and respect each and every day.
So on his second birthday, Alissa taught her son a mantra of sorts – a short series of positive affirmations he can use as a motivational tool throughout his life. Although he was too young to say so at the time, apparently the lesson stuck in his little brain. But Alissa had no idea until they happened to be walking down the city sidewalk to school one day.
“Out of nowhere he started repeating it, so I pulled out my phone,” the surprised mom wrote on Instagram. “He ended (with enthusiasm lol) once we made it to our destination.”
