Printable “The Four Agreements” Posters: Five Styles, One Powerful Message
Between spilled juice boxes and bedtime negotiations, we all crave a little peace and clarity. That’s why I’m so excited to share this set of Five Printable “The Four Agreements” Posters—each one a gentle nudge toward more mindful moments with your kids, students, or even just yourself.
Whether you’re a mama taping this above your kitchen sink or a teacher pinning it near your classroom calendar, these posters offer calm, kind energy in a chaotic world.
✨ Why We Love These Agreements
Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements are rooted in ancient Toltec wisdom, but they’re surprisingly relevant to modern parenting and teaching. These four little truths can gently shape how we speak to our kids, how we respond to their big feelings, and how we treat ourselves in the hard moments.
Be impeccable with your word — This reminds me that my words carry weight, even (especially) when I’m tired. “Please stop” lands so much better than “What is wrong with you!?”
Don’t take anything personally — Oof, this one! When my son throws a fit, it’s not about me. He’s having a moment, and I can choose to be the calm.
Don’t make assumptions — Like when I assume my daughter’s ignoring me when she’s really just hyper-focused on building her block tower. Asking gently always opens the door.
Always do your best — And that best changes, doesn’t it? Some days we’re on fire. Other days we’re showing up in yoga pants and dry shampoo. Either way—worthy.
These agreements aren’t rules—they’re gentle guides that help us lead with love.
🎨 Five Styles to Fit Any Space
Everyone’s got their own vibe, and I wanted these posters to feel like home, no matter where “home” is. So we created five different printable styles—each one thoughtful, warm, and intentionally designed. No need to overthink which one “fits” you. Just pick the one that makes you pause and smile. ✨
Some are earthy and elegant, with calming neutrals and simple linework
Others are bright and bold, with cheerful visuals kids will love
One has a hand-lettered farmhouse charm, perfect for a cozy nook
And yes—there’s even a classroom-ready style with clear, bold text for reading groups or circle time
Kinsey Tip: Let your child help choose which one to print! It builds connection and gives them ownership of the words.
🖨️ How to Print & Display
Let’s be honest—we moms and teachers don’t need extra steps. So here’s how to get your poster from screen to wall in under 10 minutes:
Download your favorite PDF—they come in 8.5″×11″ for home printing and 18″×24″ for something frame-worthy.
Print on thick cardstock—plain paper works in a pinch, but thicker paper gives it that sturdy, intentional feel.
Trim or frame as needed—you can pin it to a cork board, slide it into a frame, or tape it to the back of a cupboard door (my personal fave for early morning reminders).
Display in a high-traffic zone—think: kitchen, bathroom mirror, classroom entryway, or above a homework station. Anywhere those eyes land again and again.
Pro Tip: Laminate it if you’ve got little artists in the house. Dry-erase markers become a fun way to circle the “agreement of the day!”
💬 My Mom-Friend Moment with Affirmations
Okay, real talk: affirmations and “mindfulness” felt kinda woo-woo to me… until I saw what they did for my kids.
One rainy Tuesday, my daughter came home in a mood. Shoes kicked off, backpack on the floor, arms crossed. I didn’t jump into fix-it mode. Instead, I sat next to her, pointed to our Four Agreements poster on the wall, and whispered:
“Which one do you think we need today?”
She glanced up and said, “The one about not taking it personal… because school was kinda mean.”
Cue the waterworks (mine, not hers). That poster gave her language for something big. And it gave me presence in a moment I might’ve missed.
That’s what this is about—not perfection, but presence. These little tools help us show up softer, calmer, and more connected.
🌼 Daily Affirmations to Pair with Your Poster
Sometimes our kids (and let’s be honest—we) need even smaller bites of wisdom. Little reminders. Gentle nudges. Sticky-note-sized soul hugs.
Here are some of our favorite affirmations to pair with your poster:
“I speak with kindness—even to myself.”
“I can be calm, even when things feel big.”
“It’s okay to make mistakes. I can try again.”
“I am loved just for being me.”
“I use my words to build others up.”
“My best is different every day—and that’s okay.”
Stick them on lunchboxes, bathroom mirrors, or tucked into a backpack pocket. They work like tiny emotional anchors in a world that often feels too fast.
Kinsey’s Fav Trick: At bedtime, ask: “Which agreement did we live today?” and “Which one can we try tomorrow?” It turns bedtime into a moment of reflection, not just routine.
