In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four practical and simple tips on different affirmation routines, along with examples of how to playfully incorporate them into your daily life with your children or teens.

1. What Is an Affirmation Routine?
2. Make It a Game
3. Create Visual Reminders
4. Incorporate Movement

Building an affirmation routine is like planting a garden together. Each affirmation is a seed of positivity, carefully planted with intention and nurtured with daily care. Some seeds grow quickly, sprouting confidence and joy, while others take time, slowly developing roots of resilience and self-worth. As you tend to this garden side by side, watering it with encouragement and pulling out the weeds of self-doubt, your connection with your child or teen deepens. Over time, the garden flourishes—not just with their personal growth but also with the strong, nurturing relationship you’ve cultivated together.

In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four simple and practical ways to avoid shame talk in your interactions with the children and teens in your life, as well as some examples of each tip.

1. Avoid Comparisons
2. Model Self-Compassion
3. Reframe Negative Thoughts Together
4. Establish a Safe Space for Mistakes

Removing shame talk is like lifting a weight off a young tree to let it grow freely and reach its full potential. Just as the tree stands taller when it’s not burdened by unnecessary weight, children and teens flourish when they’re not weighed down by feelings of inadequacy or fear of judgment. Without shame talk, they’re free to explore, make mistakes, and learn without fear, stretching toward the light of self-acceptance. This environment of encouragement strengthens their roots of confidence and self-worth, nurturing a relationship that’s grounded in trust and respect, helping them stand strong through life’s challenges.

In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four practical tips of how to teach self-reflection to your children and teens and strengthen your bond with them.

1. Feelings Journal
2. Three Good Things Exercise
3. Letter Writing
4. Daily Reflection Questions

Self-reflection is like holding up a mirror in which children and teens can see their true selves, free from external judgments. Just as a mirror reveals details that might otherwise go unnoticed, self-reflection helps them observe the nuances of their own thoughts, feelings, and reactions. In doing so, they become more self-aware and resilient, gaining clarity that guides them through life’s complex landscapes. And as you stand beside them, encouraging and sharing in these reflective moments, you become a constant, reassuring presence, strengthening the bond between you as you both journey through the ever-changing reflections of growth and understanding.
