What are affirmation cards?Updated 2 months ago

For many parents, the mental health of their children is a clear priority. And it should be - a 2017 Australian study in reported one in 7 children aged between 4 and 17 have a diagnosable mental health condition. The impact of these conditions left untreated is huge – with 50% of preschool problems persisting through the childhood years.  So, how can we do our best to capitalise on the preschool years to avoid future mental health problems in our children? One way is to foster their self-esteem from birth which forms a protective barrier, reducing the impact of mental illness. Think of self-esteem like a safety net – it won’t stop your child from having difficult times or struggling with mental health completely, but it can catch them before they hit rock bottom. If fact, self-esteem is the strongest predictor of happiness
