I wanted to take this opportunity to talk a little bit about hypnosis for kids. I can't say I have a great deal of experience with this segment of the population, but I have worked with a few kids, and generally speaking they are terrific subjects! The more imaginative they are (just as with adults), the better experience they're going to have. The coolest thing about kids is that they typically don't have any pre-conceived notions about what hypnosis is or is not - notions which, more often than not, limit adults.
I have done a little bit of work with my own children, but most notably I find that they are very responsive to the 7th Path system of Self Hypnosis. This system works within the individual's Mind/Body/Spirit framework, and consists of 9 Reflections. We do our Reflections each night at bedtime, and it really helps them settle into a calmer state of mind. Right now, I have given them 6 of the 9 Reflections, and they are asking me when I will give them the 7th. I love that!
My eldest has also reported that on occasion, when she gets upset at school, she'll start reciting her Reflections in her mind, and that it does help her calm down more quickly and easily when she does.
