Quick rules for child tapping:
Let them lead the process. There is no need for a formal Set-up. Allow children to tell their story in whatever manner they want to tell it - start in the middle, start at the end, mix it up, it doesn't matter, because they are feeling whatever is bothering them, as they talk, so they usually clear the issues anyway. WE don't need to know HOW they feel about the problem, telling what happened to them is often enough to let it all go. Watch them carefully, as one or two rounds at most often solves the problem.
Don't make them do more rounds and burn them out like I did to kids who I tapped with back at the beginning of my EFT career (true confession!)!!!!
I advocate that parents teach their children to tap anytime they talk about an upsetting incident in their lives. This works wonderfully before bed because it then allows the child's subconscious mind to process the incident while they sleep. Incorporating this story telling with their bedtime prayer time is an amazingly effective way to teach children emotional regulation and self-control with God's help.
Parents can begin tapping on themselves when a child starts whining, crying, or yelling about something wrong in his/her life. The child's mirror neurons will begin to settle the child down fairly quickly. Not only does the child settle but so does the parent before s(he) says or does something regretful!
Anyone looking for tapping with children tips,can watch my first 4 EFT for Christians You Tubes (children tapping videos are Videos 1 through 4) as they were on this exact subject! In them I teach everything I know about tapping with children
It is truly amazing how quickly kids clear, often with LESS than one round! Why? Because they aren't carrying the emotional baggage we adults have hauled around for decades.
As stated in Proverbs 22:6 give a child 2 things in life and watch them grow into wonderful Christian adults. What 2 things, in addition to your love and attention? Teach them about Jesus and teach them to use EFT tapping.
