What’s It About?
Each episode of CHARM WORDS: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS FOR KIDS cues listeners to take deep breaths, and then to repeat one empowering statement. Created for children of color and clocking in at under five minutes, each episode focuses on a single positive message and leaves out context, stories, characters, and all negativity. Affirmations include "I Have a Beautiful Imagination," "Everything Will Be Okay," "I Am Generous," and "I Can Do Better Next Time."
Is It Any Good?
This podcast is great for starting a brief and basic daily affirmations practice with kids of any age. Charm Words: Daily Affirmations for Kids doesn't try to include any context, characters, stories, or negativity. Free access to over 100 episodes lets adults scroll to a desired affirmation, and put it on for a relaxing and empowering four minutes before moving on with the day.
Young kids may need support from an adult to know when these affirmations might come in handy, and some of the vocabulary may be over little ones' heads. Still, this podcast can be part of a worthwhile daily ritual, especially to support children of color, the intended audience, in boosting confidence, inspiration, and positivity.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
