Does EFT work for Children?
Yes! Yes! Yes! EFT can play a major part in helping children release trauma, fear, anxiety, and the feeling of doubt in a matter of minutes.
EFT frequently produces amazing results, often quicker than adults, as they don’t have the same amount of emotional baggage as adults do. They’re not caught up in the “how’s” and “why’s”, they just want to feel better.
EFT works even if they don’t believe in it, which is especially helpful for teenagers who may have resistance to working on issues or trying new approaches.
EFT can teach kids how to manage their emotions, process events, and encourage confidence and resilience.
Ways to teach tapping to your children
Tapping on a specific event
-
Ask your child to close their eyes and take a few deep breaths.
-
Ask your child to recall the event and rate their feelings on a scale of 1-10.
-
The child starts off by tapping on their karate chop point and creates a phrase, “ Even though ____________(name the issue)” and a positive affirmation, “I am a good kid/I am safe.
-
The child does three rounds of tapping while talking about the event
-
Ask the child to take a few deep breaths and re-rate the intensity of their feelings.
-
Continue with the rounds of tapping until the child feel better
Tapping on specific emotions
-
Ask your child to close their eyes and take a few deep breaths.
-
Ask your child to name their emotion.
-
Ask them to give it a rating 0-10 and go through the same process as the above but focusing on the emotion/s they’ve described instead of an event.
Tapping and Talking
-
Ask the child “What was the best and the worst part of your day?”
-
As your child recounts their day, get them to gently tap through the tapping points starting at the top of the head using light pressure 8-10 taps on each tapping point.
Tapping for Sleep
-
Ask your child to tap through the tapping points, starting at the top of the head. Repeating the phrases “I am safe”, “It’s safe for me to let go and fall asleep”, “letting go and choosing to relax now”, "Drifting off to sleep”, “I am safe”.
-
Repeat the sequence for as long as necessary.
