What is a great way to build confidence in your kids? Affirmations! Today, I talk to Sandy Zanella, a mom of 2, a physician by training, and a kids yoga teacher. She is also the author and creator of “Happy Yogis,” a colorful pose by pose book inspired by her kids. In our conversation, we discuss the benefits of affirmations (for both you AND your kids) and easy ways to start practicing them with your family.
