Meet your kind-word mirror ↓01 / The kind-word mirror
What word would
you like to try on?
Pick a word. Say it out loud, whisper it, or ask your grown-up to say it with you.
Grown-up, your turn: “I love being here with you. You do not have to earn my love.”
Look who’s here.
I am loved.
On easy days. On tricky days. Just as I am.
That includes you. Yes, you.
02 / Let your words take a little walk
Love can look like a little moment.
Choose someone you trust. Ask, “Can we spend a little time together?”
A little time together can say a lot. You were loved before this activity, too.
No points to collect. Nothing to get perfect. Your words belong to you.
03 / A moment, together
Take a word
into your day.
Choose a moment. Your grown-up can read the first line; you can answer with words, a drawing in the air, or a little point.
04 / A little reminder to keep
Big words.
Pocket-sized love.
Your mirror word becomes a little affirmation card. Change the word above to make another.
No name, account, or email needed. Printing opens your device’s print options.
A little word from my affirmation world
