No Tricks, Just Treats: The Magic of Positive Words
Dear Powerful Parents and Growing Dreamers,
Halloween is full of fun — costumes, candy, and a few playful scares — but it’s also a perfect time to remind our kids (and ourselves!) that the real magic isn’t in a wand or a witch’s spell. It’s in the words we say to ourselves.
When we help our little ones speak kindly to themselves, they learn that courage, joy, and confidence can outshine any spooky night. So, this October, let’s swap the 'tricks' for treats for the soul.
💫 This Halloween’s Power Affirmations
🧡 “I am brave even when things feel spooky.”
🖤 “I light up the dark with my kindness.”
🎃 “No costume can hide my confidence.”
🕯 “I carry magic inside me every day.”
Tape one on your mirror. Drop one in their lunchbox. Whisper one before bed. Affirmations work best when they become little rituals of love.
✨ Family Activity: “Affirmation Pumpkins”
Grab a few mini pumpkins and have your kids paint or write a power word on each one — Brave, Kind, Confident, Loved, Smart, Unstoppable. Then line them up where they can see them every day — a mini 'pumpkin patch of positivity.' Snap a pic and tag us @2ndCityPsychKids — we’d love to feature your Affirmation Pumpkins on our page!
🛍 Treat Their Minds (and Bags)
This Halloween, fill their bags with candy and confidence! Our affirmation cards, water bottles, and hoodies remind kids to keep their power close — long after the costume comes off.
💬 Use code BOO20 for 20% off your next order through October 31.
This month, let’s all remember: the scariest thoughts lose power when we speak light over them.
With warmth and a little Halloween sparkle,
