提高女儿自信心的小方法

"我从食品室拿了两个棕色的纸质午餐袋，用Sharpie笔在袋子上写下她们做过的积极的事情，"丝塔芙德对TODAY杂志说道，并解释道，尽管她在袋子里装满了巧克力零食和发带，但她认为袋子上的话语而非袋子里的礼物才是这份礼物的意义所在。"每一句肯定的话语都以'我爱你……'开头，然后写下具体的例子。创作一个袋子最多只要10分钟。"

But the simple gesture had a big impact on Stafford's daughters, who both recently started attending new schools and have been working hard to get into the back-to-school routine. "My 15 year old daughter sat down and read the sack carefully, her face holding that unmistakable look of peace when someone feels seen," Stafford recalled. "And my 12 year old daughter just smiled and smiled as I read her affirmations aloud."

但这一简单举止却对丝塔芙德的女儿产生了很大影响，她们最近转入了新学校，努力适应返校后的日常生活。"15岁的女儿坐下来认真地看袋子上的话，她的脸看起来是那么的平静，"丝塔芙德回忆道。"当我为12岁的女儿大声读出袋子上的肯定语句时，她的嘴角一直上扬着。"

The mom-of-two says small gestures like these can make a big impact on a child who needs encouragement. "Don't overthink it," said Stafford. "Whatever you decide to do does not need to be expensive or dramatic. You don't need to be good with words or crafty because when it comes to positive affirmation, the prize or gift doesn't really matter."
