4 Tools for Teaching the Law of Attraction to Children

Tool #1: Magnetic Board Game

An easy game to implement within any family or small group of children is the Don’t, Not and No Magnetic Board Game. Prepare a magnetic board (or something similar) by writing the name of each family or group member across the top. Using fun magnets, the objective of the game is to get and keep the most magnets under your name at the end of each week. Start off by giving each person five magnets. Each time a member hears anyone using the words don’t, not and no, the player who used those words loses a magnet to the player who noticed. Decide on a reward for the winner at the end of the week and keep it fun. Display your magnetic board in a central location. For families, an ideal place would be near your dinner table or on your fridge door so you can refer to it often. This is a fun game so parents and teachers – you play too!

 

Tool #2: On-Off Light Switch Poster

This poster will be a useful visual aid for younger children. Use it to help them understand the difference between feeling negative and positive emotions or vibes. I’ve included the following illustration to use as a guide.
First, together with the child, build a list of words that represent negative and positive emotions. Have the child help you place these words describing positive emotions on the ‘ON’ side of the light switch poster. Do the same for the words describing negative emotions, placing them on the ‘OFF’ side. As a parent or teacher, whenever you notice a child expressing an emotion, use the poster and have them find that emotion on the ‘OFF’ side or ‘ON’ side of the light switch poster. This poster will help reinforce their understanding between positive and negative vibes. Display the poster somewhere prominent where you can refer to it often.

Tool #3: The Secret Question Reminder

The purpose of this tool is to help children remember the secret question whenever they use the words don’t, not and no. Using a wide rubber band, or a medallion, have your child or student label it “Secret.” Now the child can wear it as a tool to help them remember to ask themselves “So, what do I want?”

Tool #4: Family or Group Meeting

For older children and teens, a weekly meeting can be a good way to learn and share about the Law of Attraction. I’ve included a list of questions that you can incorporate into your meeting.

♦
Are you noticing that you are reducing the number of times you use don’t, not and no?
♦
When have you caught yourself using don’t, not and no?
♦
Who have you taught or shared the Law of Attraction with this week?
♦
What evidence have you noticed that you are attracting more of what you want and less of what you don’t?
♦
What would you like to attract more of this week?
To continue practicing the Law of Attraction between meetings, make sure everyone has each other’s permission to give support in asking “So, what do you want?” Ask permission and give permission. “Do I have your permission to mention when I notice you using don’t, not and no? I give you my permission to point out to me every time you notice I’m using them!”
