ADVICE...
What can be done to help my kids cope with
the stress and pressure of going back to school?
Although many parents experience a sense of relief when the kids are back at
school, this can be a very stressful time for the kids. The stress of a
hectic pace with getting up earlier, having homework, dealing with new
teachers and classmates, learning new material, self-esteem, anxieties,
meeting parent’s expectations with grades, and of course, peer pressure and
bullies. This can be a lot for kids to handle.
Promoting time management routines, helping the kids stay organized,
creating a good study environment and providing good nutrition to enhance
brain power, as well as encouraging consistent sleep habits and providing
moral support are all practical strategies to keep the kids on track.
Sometimes these strategies are just not enough. Then what?
“Tapping” techniques help kids tremendously with emotional stress. These can
address whatever emotional issues your kids may be experiencing. By clearing
any blocks along the meridians, these techniques can promote calm and allow
for clearer thinking. It can help address peer pressure, reduce fears,
promote self-esteem and improve memory by reducing stress. With some
techniques, kids can learn self application. Parents are encouraged to use
these techniques along with their children. Common tapping techniques are
EFT, TFT, WHEE and many others.
Fears, mental and emotional blocks, or any issue that doesn’t seem to
respond to conscious efforts can be addressed with techniques that “tap”
into the subconscious mind. Children respond beautifully to Hypnosis as they
don’t have all of the resistant baggage that an adult may have. Hypnosis
gently removes any negative self-talk and replaces it with positive and
encouraging patterns. Psych-K addresses limiting beliefs that a child may
have about performance issues, capabilities or stress, by balancing the
brain and energy system.
Energy Medicine, which is available in many forms, can help to balance the
child and allows improved communication within the body/mind complex and
promotes enhanced functioning on many levels. BodyTalk, Touch for Health and
Reiki are good examples of energy medicine. BodyTalk is a multi-dimensional
form of energy medicine, which addresses the innate healing wisdom of the
complete body/mind complex and aligns the internal communication of the
body, mind and spirit. Touch for Health improves energy flow through the
meridian system while balancing emotional and psychological patterns. Reiki
is a relaxing and balancing energy technique.
