Supplying Today’s Youth With Positive Messaging
Unfortunately, most kids experience bullying in school at some point during their life. Schools are places of learning, but with kids being confined between the walls for hours a day with the same body of students, it can also feel like a jail. Placing positive & motivational messages throughout the school can help those feeling stuck by giving them something to think about and also help to reshape their mindset.
As the troubles of today’s youths increase, it becomes more important than ever to help instill a sense of positive self-image within our children and young adults. By providing our kids with positive messaging, we can help to build up their self-image and character – this, in turn, helps them to not crumble under the weight of a bully or hardship but to persevere instead.
“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.” This famous quote by Marcus Aurelius is a timeless classic that makes you really think. You can argue forever about what it takes to be a good man, but to actually become one is a different story. Lead by example, walk the talk and be a good person. It’s a highly motivational quote that will no doubt give students something to think about as they stare at it day in and day out. This vinyl decal would look amazing in a school’s hallway where the entire student body can view it.
Having a simple “do something amazing” decal above a classroom door will no doubt be read by students as they exit the classroom every day. Pairing it with a sign about how being a good person is amazing, and how simple tasks like saying hello or holding open a door can really help to make others feel good is a great idea.
This motivational message has so many different meanings that can be taken from it, allowing every student to draw from it what they need. If the student has a home that’s not supportive of their future dreams, this message can build them up to realize it’s not as impossible as their family might say. For others, this message can just be a reminder that hard school tasks and hobbies get easier as they practice more.
With school being a place where new things are learned every day and mistakes are understandably made, it’s important to remember that mistakes are okay. By helping our fragile teens to understand that everyone makes mistakes we help to build their confidence so that they don’t feel as bad when they make mistakes of their own.
Imagine this beautiful quote on a large mirror for students to reflect upon themselves as they read it, can you imagine the impact on their self-image? This quote could be what helps them to reach out of their shell and do something outside of their comfort zone.
A school building contains hundreds of kids from all walks of life and with different experiences. They’re trying to make sense of the world and become educated at the same time. It’s a lot going on for anyone, let alone a child. Building their self-image, giving them the motivation that’s needed to reach for their dreams and tools to build their character can both have a long-lasting effect on their hearts and minds.
