Why Tapping for Teens?
Stress is a common part of most of our lives right now. While stress and anxiety is difficult enough for adults to handle, it can prove especially detrimental to our children.
We don't all have to live with anxiety and fear, though. In fact, experts say that there's a form of alternative medicine — referred to as EFT tapping — that can help us all manage anxiety during the pandemic and after.
Because most children cannot clearly articulate how they feel, they either express themselves through tantrums or carry around their emotions internally. EFT tapping is a wonderful tool that children can learn and utilize when they feel negative emotions build. It's an easy process to pick up, and EFT often produces instant positive results in children.
