Much that goes on in our world can cause problems for children, just as it does for adults. Rapid physical growth over short periods of time, and concerns about changes in their bodies can cause stress and loss of self-esteem. Various problems in school, with studies, teachers or peers, may be troubling a child. There are many fears that can plague children: fear of the potential danger in our schools today, fear of the dark, fear of going to sleep, fear of doctors, dentists and needles, etc. Many children experience the embarrassment of habits they find hard to break, like bed-wetting or thumb sucking. A new baby or other addition to the family can cause undue stress. Loss of their own bedroom space due to a new addition to the family, or having to move to a smaller place can make children unhappy. An underlying fear of kidnapping and other abuses may affect our children far more than we realize. It's difficult to keep such news away from a child's hearing, these days.
Why Hypnotherapy and NLP?
One of the reasons that hypnotherapy can be such a good choice in treating children is that at least below the age of 12, children make good use of their imaginations. Hypnotherapy and NLP will have little difficulty in tapping into this ability to help your child resolve the issue that is bothering them. The use of stories, adventures, meeting a hero or character from a favourite TV programme
all these are ideas that are easily accepted by a young child. Even an older child can be open to using their imagination but as they are already more sophisticated in their thinking; treatment is adapted accordingly.
