Studies have shown that children can be guided by Hypnotherapist to form  perspectives and access strategies and resources within them that may boost their confidence and change unwanted behaviours. Their ready access to their imagination and fluidity of slipping into and out of their natural state of trance gives us a quick route to giving them access to alternative choices and more beneficial outcomes when faced with their daily stresses, fears, worries and perhaps limiting self beliefs. What better time to learn healthy mindfulness and an understanding of how that which we think, can in a good way..or not, influence our feelings and behaviours. Catching the patterns of negative thinking at a young age before they become so heavily ingrained, can only be a good thing. Parents may easily learn to empower children by practicing hypnotic techniques and be part of their child's transformation. Rest assured that any clucking like a chicken during session will not be down to mind control on the therapist's part! Children are engaged safely through simple story telling, games and self derived imaginative suggestion.
