What does Affirmed really mean?

Affirmed is a word that we use to describe when someone says "yes" or agrees with something. It's like when you're playing a game and your friend asks if they can join, and you say "yes, you can join!" That's called affirming their request.

But it's not just about saying "yes." When we affirm something, it means that we believe it to be true or correct. It's like when you're doing your math homework and you solve a problem, and then you check your answer and realize it's the right one. You might say, "I affirmed that my answer is correct!" It's kind of like giving yourself a little high-five because you got it right.

But it's not just about math problems. We can affirm ideas, beliefs, and even people. For example, let's say you have a friend who is feeling sad because they're having a tough day. You might go up to them and say, "Hey, you're awesome and I believe in you. Keep going, you got this!" By saying those words, you're affirming your friend, making them feel better, and showing your support.

So, when we affirm something, it's about agreeing, believing, and supporting. It's about saying "yes" and showing that you're on the same page. It's like giving someone a pat on the back, saying, "I believe in you!" Affirming is a way to make others feel good and show that we're there for them.
