This year's theme came from much thought and prayer. It is something that I have gained a strong testimony of through slight trail and error. I think it's important to learn early in life that:
OBEDIENCE
BRINGS
HAPPINESS
BRINGS
HAPPINESS
We have revised affirmations for this year too. Affirmations are said every morning before school. I think hard about truths I want my children to learn and personal things our family can work on, that's how I come up with them. Here are this years:
- I am happy when I obey
- I love to serve family
- I think of others first
- I am kind and share with my family and friends
- I am smart, healthy, and clean
- I love to go to school to learn and work hard
- I don’t complain about my hair or clothes
- I always talk politely
- I have good manners
- I love to read, reading is fun
- I chose friends who are kind and good
- I can do hard things
- I always choose the right
- I am a child of Godm a child of God

I need more information. Do the kids do this grudgingly most mornings, never, like to do it, a combination? Did you notice them really internalizing your messages last year? Do certain kids get it more than others?
I love that idea! Way to go mamma! But man, that is quite the mouthful of things to say each morning in front of the mirror. I'm lucky if I get my kids to even LOOK in the mirror before they head to school, much less actually say something ;)
Brilliant mothering!
