About this resource:

Personalised Design: The Positivity Shield allows children to design their own shield using their imagination and creativity. They can write positive statements, draw pictures of things that make them feel happy, or use any other form of artistic expression that resonates with them. This customisation makes the shield personal and meaningful to them.

Powerful Visualisation: The Positivity Shield serves as a symbolic tool for children to protect themselves against unhappy or upsetting thoughts. When negative thoughts arise, children can visually hold their shield, reminding themselves of the positive affirmations and images they have created. This action helps shift their focus and redirect their thoughts towards positivity.

This activity promotes emotional well-being, empowers children, and equips them with a practical strategy to manage their thoughts and emotions. The Positivity Shield is a valuable resource for parents, professionals, and teachers seeking to promote positive thinking and build emotional resilience in children.
