Can Clutz the Cat Keep Trying? A Growth Mindset Book shows children the benefits of using positive affirmations by example. Misty Black shares the story of Clutz, a kind cat with many friends who help and encourage him when needed. When his teacher tells them about a bike race, Clutz asks for help from his friend Punk the skunk. At first, the training was difficult because Clutz knew nothing about riding a bicycle. However, he and his friend sought advice and practiced every day until they had mastered riding. Throughout the process, Clutz uses affirmations that gradually improve his mood, and even the phrases become more positive. In this way, he achieves new things and can feel better about himself.
Affirmations lighten our moods and reduce stress. It's a good idea to apply them during difficult situations, such as in times of worry or fear of failure.
