Tapping with Children
Does EFT work with children?
Oh absolutely yes!
Children release stuck emotions very quickly, since they are not that invested in keeping these negative emotions, and have not held on to them for years like adults have!
Children in general struggle to verbalise what is going on, but they can tell you that they are not feeling happy. They can often identify the big emotions like sad, unhappy or angry. And this is enough. Children are also great mimics, and when we tap on ourselves, they love to copy us and tap along.
If a child does not want to tap, you can gently tap on them, or even just touch the points. Children can also tap on a teddy bear or other soft toy instead. The toy can also answer in terms of emotions if the child prefers. E.g. “Teddy is feeling better now”
And then there is the Picture tapping technique which is brilliant for children, since it involves drawing and they do not have to explain what is going on, or too much details, and they do not have to be artists either. It is all about just getting the emotions out on to the page.
In short, EFT is brilliant for little ones right up to us older ones 😀
