Have you ever considered how it can benefit you and your
child? When you look back over your time in school do you sometimes wish things
could have been easier? I imagine that the first few years were mostly fun and
easy. However there may have been some bumpy patches like bullying, sadness,
fears and worries to name but a few. Then in secondary school life gets a bit
more complicated and much more serious. There are timetables, many different
subjects, more homework and just so much to juggle.
What if there was a technique available to help with the
trials and tribulations of being a kid and growing up? I would like to
introduce to you E.F.T (emotional freedom technique). EFT is an easy way to
balance your energy system for negative and uncomfortable feelings that you
want to change. It is based on the acupuncture system and was developed in the
1990's by Gary Craig. The technique is easy to learn and is so effective.
Toddlers: You may be wondering if you can use it with a
toddler. The answer is yes. You can either tap directly on your child or teach
them how to do it. Pretend it is a game and your child will love using E.F.T
and really feel the benefits. This is a great way for toddlers to release any
emotion such as anger, frustration or anxiety in an appropriate way.
Big School: When your toddler moves up to mainstream school
they will have spelling and maths tests to contend with. They will also have to
learn to socialise and share with other class mates. There will probably be
stuff that happened in school that you don't know about. This can be a scary
time. The path can be less bumpy with the use of this wonderful technique. A
good time to use EFT for children would be before homework or
at bedtime. When your child is telling you about their day just tap through the
points. Some children may not want to tap. However in most cases they recognise
that they feel better inside when they do tap.
Teenagers: This is when the hormones kick in, your child
becomes more independent and start to rebel. This can be a challenging time for
both parent and child. Even the most solid parent/ child relationship can be
tested in the teenage years. E.F.T is an option available to you and your child
to smooth the way. As a parent there may be conflict around letting go and
giving your child space and independence. The teenager in your family has exam
pressure, peer pressure and may even be struggling with confidence and
self-esteem issues. This technique is really helpful to help resolve any issues
that present.
