The Growing Bonds

The Power of Positive Suggestion in Family Life


Listen Later

What if the words we repeat each day — to ourselves and to our children — shapes their world?


In this episode of The Growing Bonds, I explore the gentle, powerful method of positive suggestion, inspired by French psychologist Émile Coué.


Together, we’ll look at how simple rituals — like morning affirmations, bedtime stories, and family mantras — can help children build confidence, feel safe, and strengthen their sense of belonging.


🌿 You’ll hear about:

• How imagination can be more powerful than willpower

• The magic of morning and bedtime routines

• Creating affirmations that nurture your child’s self-worth

• The role of family mottos in moments of conflict

• A quiet, reflective moment to close the episode with calm and love


✨ PLUS: I created a free 7-day “Growing Better Each Day” printable journal to help older children reflect on their growth — one gentle step at a time.

This episode is for parents, educators, and caregivers who believe in raising children with heart, presence, and intention.


💛 Every day, in every way, we’re getting better — together.
