Affirmation Activity Included

Q: Why do you choose kids as your reader ? is there any specific reason?

I wanted to empower and teach kindness and self love at a young age as it’s something that’s been missing from the way of the world recently. It’s also an opportunity to teach parents the same tools for themselves and to lead by example.

Q: How did these stories and characters come to your mind?

This is a real story and situation that happened between my daughter and I. It was a simple affirmation activity and journey we do. I thought the message was important to spread.

It’s because I want to share with others the importance of self talk, self acceptance and the power of positivity.  Our Words Matter. Especially the beliefs and words we say to ourselves. This is why it’s even more important to teach our children.  They are our future and the importance of teaching these tools at a young age is empowering and confidence.

What Matters Most is more than a children’s book! It’s a tool for your children’s future. Even an opportunity to build confidence between your kiddos and you, the parent.

Self-esteem, which means feeling good about yourself and embracing yourself. With self-esteem, you believe in yourself, you know that you can do anything if you put your mind to it, and even when things don’t go your way, it helps you accept your mistakes. So friends always look for new things, what you can do, try a new sport, dance or any activity which you like, at least give it a try and most importantly “Be happy, proud and be yourself.”
