Children develop an inner voice remarkably early. It seems worth trying to make sure theirs isn't a jerk.
This deck from Mål Paper contains 52 affirmations created to help kids ages six to twelve practice the surprisingly useful skill of saying decent things to themselves. Pick a card, read it, talk about it, repeat it tomorrow if it still seems necessary. The idea is simple: give kids a few better sentences to carry around in their heads before the rest of the world gets too many opportunities to contribute its own.

About the Brand: Mål Paper
Mål Paper makes stationery for the things happening inside your head, which admittedly gives them quite a lot of territory to work with. The UK brand creates journals, card decks, and other paper goods designed around reflection, gratitude, mindfulness, and the increasingly radical practice of occasionally paying attention to what you're thinking.
