A message from an 8 yr old boy...
Dear Affirmations doctor:
My name is Jamie and I am 8 years old. I have a dog named Toby. How can I teach Toby to do tricks? My brother James, who is 12 says Toby is older than me (in dog years), but he seems kinda dumb. I am smarter than him. Can I use affirms to help? Thanks Jamie P.S. He is a ‘boy’ dog.
Dear Jamie:
(a) Spend time showing and teaching him (b) Be gentle and patient. Reward Toby with loads of praise, petting and giving him his favorite dog biscuits when he learns a new trick. Dogs thrive on praise. Remember dogs have feelings too and it takes time to learn new things, just like boys and girls. It is so important to say kind, loving words to Toby. He is very sensitive to the tone of voice that you use and what you are feeling.
I would suggest only teaching him a few tricks to begin with like (a) speaking, (b) sitting, (c) shaking a paw and (d) rolling over. Your affirmation would be:
“My Toby now learns his tricks easily and we have fun together.’
Please keep me posted on Toby’s progress and your use of affirmations. I am always so happy and pleased to hear from you and your friends.
A message from a young girl...
Dear Affirmations doctor:
I try my hardest but I can’t always seem to pay attention all the time. My mom is sad and I want to make her happy. My little sister is so hard to take care of. My step dad is always mad at me. Help me. Help my family? Alanna
Dear Alanna
You sound like a lovely girl and I thank you for writing to me. First of all about paying attention, you could do the following affirmation to help you focus. Did you know that an affirmation is like a wish or goal? Also when people have a birthday cake with candles and blow out the candles and make a wish, they are doing an affirmation.
Affirmation for Alanna-Concentration
“I, Alanna now place all my attention on what I need to know. I direct my attention to the important things that I need to know and remember to the good of all. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Signed: Alanna ____________

When a magnifying glass is held steadily and close enough over a newspaper and the sunlight is strong enough it will burn, but if we had exactly the same conditions, but moved the magnifying glass back and forth, which would be scattering, it would not burn. This shows the power of concentration and focus on one object.
That is the same as you concentrating and focusing on one thing and putting it in your mind.
I am very sorry that you mom is sad. We cannot make other people happy Alanna, all we can do is be happy ourselves and when you are happy that will help her. As for the question about your little sister, you did not say how old she is, but try and remember back a couple of years (or so) when you were that age and that can help. Also we teach the children in Grade 3 about the Empathy Shoes that means walking in another person's shoes, trying to really understand how he or she feels. I would also suggest another affirmation:
“Our home is harmonious and happy. We are doing our very best to make our home happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Sign and date it.
I really hope this will help you. I am very proud of you for being so aware, caring and also for writing to me.
With Much Caring
The Affirmations Doctor.
