Using EFT with children

[Cally]

Is EFT an effective way to help a child deal with anger, sadness or depression?  Or, would you consider EFT a technique that is only effective for adults?

[Skylar Lake]

EFT can be a very powerful tool to empower children in harnessing their own developing emotions.  Often a child will experience stages of hyper activity that cannot be calmed with just words.  By equipping your child with proper EFT techniques (such as soothing affirmations and tapping of acupressure points while deep breathing), you are teaching them important emotion management skills that will help them stay in control even in frightful or uncertain situations.  You may want to demonstrate how to perform the tapping on a doll or teddy bear or involve siblings to be EFT buddies.
