When to use inspirational quotes for kids 

Dont be daunted about using inspirational quotes for kids each and every day (my books make this super easy!) A really great time to use inspirational quotes for kids is at bedtime so the linger in their minds as they drift off to sleep/ Another great time to use them is a t breakfast time so the words motivate and inspire them as they go about their day. 

I like the idea of putting on on your fridge for a day( or a week) so your child keeps seeing it  and reading it over and over so it sinks in. It is also a super cute idea to put a quote on a note and pop it in their lunch box for a little bit of contact and connection whilst they have their school day and to mare encourage a discussion with their friends around the lunch table?

 

 

I hope these inspirational quotes for kids motivate and encourage – words are powerful  and so lets always use good ones
