In essence, these cards promote the role of pristine pregnancies and the positive contribution of men and women to our children's wellbeing. We celebrate our connection to land and water, our role models and our resilience, and we reassure parents that they themselves are worthy and loved. This work was developed to celebrate the many loving ways we can raise our future Elders. Repeating these affirmations over and over helps to rewire any negative beliefs and creates the space for self-care, love and fulfilment.

We would recommend:

• Gifting these cards to families you know

• Holding an aspiration in your heart, shuffling the pack and picking a card for guidance

• Pulling a card at the beginning of meetings with parents and families, and reading it out loud to set the tone of the meeting

• Asking parents to pick a card and asking them to reflect on what it is they see

• Picking a card that has meaning for you and putting it in a place where you will likely see it every day (fridge door, mirror or computer screen)

• Giving a card to clients or carers of our children to carry in their wallet

• Encouraging parents to pick a card for their children to tell them how much they are loved and cared for.

The artwork has been done by Within Creations, and words have been developed by the First 1000 Days Australia team. All sales fund future productions of affirmation card packs for families, professionals and carers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. We thank you for your support and we would love to hear from you about how you have been using them!
