Encourage your kids to faith everyday. These biblical affirmations are great to start using even with your infants and toddlers! It’s never too early to start teaching them these phrases, and they will remember them as they grow. For children, affirmations can be just as useful as they are for adults. Social development and challenges in school are tough on a child, so it's important they learn how to combat negative thoughts about themselves and build resiliency. There are certain Biblical truths that your children should grow up knowing with absolute confidence. The world will inundate them with many thoughts and ideas, but if the Word of God is firmly established in their hearts, they will be able to separate the Truth from the lies.
