Affirmation Weaver: A Believe in Yourself Story, Designed to Help Children Boost Self-esteem While Decreasing Stress and Anxiety.

by Lori Lite, Max Stasuyk (Illustrator)

Affirmation Weaver  is a story that teaches children how to increase self-confidence and self-esteem. Children relate to the self-doubting dolphin and love reading how the sea creatures show the dolphin how to turn self-doubt into self-belief. Watch your child increase self-esteem and build confidence as the sea creatures weave a web of positive statements. 
 
Affirmations can be used to bolster self-esteem, manage stress, accomplish goals, and increase optimism. This encouraging story will bring a smile to your face and give your child a tool that will last a lifetime. 
 
Affirmation Weaver  is one of four stories featured on the  Indigo Ocean Dreams  audiobook and is available in several formats.
The Spanish version is called  Tejedor de Afirmaciones  ( 9781937985028)
 
Note to  
 Children truly enjoy hearing and saying positive statements out loud. They are willing and eager to give themselves a compliment and quickly learn that doing this throughout the day makes them feel better. Every child has a different emotional maturity, attention span, and need. While the stories are best suited for ages 6-12, do not let this be your primary reason for selecting. You know your child best and remember this is not about the reading level. The focus is on the actual techniques.

Affirmation Weaver

There was a young dolphin that was feeling sad and discouraged. A sea child and a hermit crab, known as the Affirmation Weaver, thought they could help him. The sea child gathered all her friends and sent positive thoughts to the young dolphin as the hermit crab weaved a web to connect to each thought. The book is very helpful in showing children how they can overcome sadness and discouragement by believing in themselves. The key words in this book will help with their feelings. I highly recommend this book.

This book is great for all children! I love the affirmations spread throughout the book. My 5 year old says affirmations daily, and this book gave her new ideas, "I am creative!". The artwork is very cute, and I love how one of the fish has an earring. Definitely recommend for all children to read this book to learn about being confident.

In Affirmation Weaver the hermit was good at giving affirmations to himself and others. He helped his friends believe in themselves and taught them how to give themselves affirmations. This is an easy read and good read for any kid. It’s always easy to forget to believe in yourself and this book helps with just that.

Perfect for children who struggle with confidence

This is a great book for any child (or adult for that matter) that may struggle with confidence. It shows, by example, how to increase your confidence and encourage yourself every day.

This is a brightly colored, underwater, ocean world, filled with lots of special sea creatures and uplifting language and positive conversation.
One day, dolphin feels sad and sorry for himself and isn’t playing with the other dolphins. He is soon introduced to the hermit crab, known as the Affirmation Weaver. A sea child and a host of happy, positive sea creatures share affirmations with dolphin, as hermit crab weaves his seaweed web. Engaging illustrations and repetitive text will have readers ready to read along with the sea creatures. Affirmation Weaver is the perfect picture book to introduce young children to the power of positive affirmations. Highly recommended.

A beautifully illustrated story with an important message. Positive affirmations really can change a child’s mood and set the tone for good things. Believing you are important and that you matter is one of the most valuable lessons a child can learn and this cute story shows how a few simple words repeated often can change your attitude.

the art was really nice. The affirmations were good as well, and things we need to tell ourselves these days when the world can be rough, especially for a kid.

Great book for establishing a positive and encouraging classroom environment and "tone." Great for all students especially students with high stress and anxiety who could benefit from increasing self esteem. Great book to have in a class library that a student could seek out if having a stressful day.
