Eft With Children - Reducing Childhood Baggage
The following episode with my 5 year-old son Anton made me yet again so grateful
for having EFT in my parenting toolbox that I want all parents to know about it.It was an eye opener for me to experience first-hand how EFT addresses existing issues in children so comprehensively and deeply, and how it greatly contributes to avoiding some of the usual accumulation of emotional childhood baggage what a blessing!
Here is the story. On a walk to the park Anton accidently ran head-on into a newspaper stand. His lips were bleeding a little bit, and a few bruises started to appear quickly. This was his third severe little accident within a few days. Anton is normally very healthy and not accident prone at all.
Now he was in pain, cried hard, and he was very upset. We sat down and I started tapping on him addressing the accident. Even though Im hurting, my face hurts, Im still a great kid; Im scared, I did not see this stand, it hurts, but Im still a good kid, Mama and Papa love me,
He then kept saying: Mama, mama and we simply tapped on I want my mama, mama!!! Mama!! I want my mama (while he was sitting on my lap anyway), I want my mama to help me, and I am a great kid, mama, make it go away!
He calmed down a bit and then said:I want to glue up this bad box with all yucky stuff, I am going to make it sooooo yucky that they will take it away! And then Ill put so many coins in the slot that its completely stuffed up, and Ill have the only key, so nobody can use it and theyll take it away, so it does not hurt me - I heard a whole lot of anger and being mad at the stand, so we tapped on anger, all the while using his own words. After a couple of rounds the power of his anger seemed to wane, and he calmed down.
Then he threw his hat to the ground. I managed to just observe instead of reprimanding him. He also pulled his hair and on the skin on his front head. I asked him what he was doing, he replied I want to take my skin off! So you want to take your skin off? I mirrored. I dont want to keep getting hurt in this skin. Wow, this is deep. Dont we all feel uncomfortable in our skin at times and would love to be able to get out of it?? So there was FEAR, fear of being hurt again and having to go through pain again. Thats on what we tapped next want my skin off, dont want to hurt again, afraid of being hurt again, not safe, and I am a great kid anyway.
He seemed calm and in a good space at this point. It occurred to me to ask him So why do you think youve been getting hurt so much recently? He contemplated this for a moment, and then very deliberately answered Mama, its because of those scary bad guys in the dreams Ive been having.
What followed was a description of four scary dreams that I had not heard in such detail and clarity before. The most recent one was about this scary killer person coming to our house. The other three were from a little while ago; one about a favorite stuffed animal doggie being stuffed into the toilet several times without Anton being able to prevent it; another dream included someone being really mean to Antons sister and taking things away from her repeatedly, and Anton could not help her. The fourth dream was set at the playground where a giant scary hand suddenly appeared on top of the climbing structure and tried to grab him.
