Parents who have children with anxiety ask

Does hypnosis work?

Yes, relaxation hypnosis does work with children.

Children are always in a suggestible state.

There is hope.

Once you have evaluated whether your child needs medical intervention with a professional and have taken the necessary steps to ensure they are given this care if necessary, and you feel confident that your child is out of harm’s way you can then begin to teach your child relaxation techniques.

The techniques work equally well for boys and girls; for ease of readability I will refer in this article to the child as “him”.

It is best to begin when your child is already in a relaxed stress free state.

I would start by observing how he copes with anxiety.

Does he watch TV or play video games?

Is he quiet and relaxed while on a computer or prefer playing with toys that are tactile such as trucks, remote control cars or the like.

Notice how and where your child currently feels safe and approach him there.If you know your schedule permits you can plan on opening the topic about fears up.

Get all distractions out of the way and clear your schedule in order to be sure and have the time to get to some good resolution.

It may take an hour or two so plan for that. If it goes really well, and you have more time at the end of the discussion, going for some fun time together after wards is a important and will add to the trust you are developing. You being there is the most important part of this type of bonding.

Children with anxiety pick up labels that others may attach to their anxiety. You can even turn this around - let him know that you think he is "Courageous" (a suggestion) and that there is no such thing as courage without fear.

For example you could say..."It doesn't take much courage to eat your favorite ice cream or do things you’re not afraid of. It did take real courage though to go to school today even though your were afraid of this or that and you did it! ... I believe you have showed courage!

Ritual and Relaxation Tips for Bedtime

Begin to relax him before bed at night. Let him get comfortable, turn on some relaxing music and let him "get comfortable and relaxed and in a imaginary safe place somewhere in nature... that is a totally safe... a peaceful place.

Say:You can be there alone or have a special guide that protects you.

This guide could be a pony, a stuffed toy, a spiritual figure or whatever you like.Talk slowly in a soothing voice.

You can just say it while he is drifting off to sleep. Let your voice be quiet and comforting.Keep referring to the safe things your child clings to in stress … toys or bears, blankets, or whatever is comforting to him.Say something like … pretend you are comfortable and safe, let your toes relax...etc.

Hypnosis done by you in this manner at night for anxiety is very effective because it allows him to feel his feelings and have them validated by the person he wants to trust more then himself -you- his role model and parent.

I would not suggest doing this in a forceful way. If he says "no" or tells you to "stop making me do this" then stop right away. Give him his space immediately and just sit quietly with him if he will let you.

By listening to my free online hypnosis session you will get the idea. Take time out for a free session to experience what I am referring to.

Check out my competition as well - there’s lots of great information out there!

I feel strongly that considering the enormous amounts of negative media your child will be exposed to, it is imperative to throw in as many positive reinforcement as you can get your hands on while your child is still in your nest.

Seek out such resources and listen to them to be sure that they are relaxing to you.

Children with anxiety love to witness you reaching goals. Make it a goal to teach relaxation by role modeling it to him as often as possible. "I am going to get relaxed and read a book or listen to some music " or whatever you do to unwind.

"I'll be back in ten minutes..... now is my time to Zone".

Keep in mind he is are watching you every day and learning how to handle stress by your reactions to the stress in your life.

Some of you reading this may feel that this doesn't apply to you because you have a handle on your stresses and fears … and this may be true.

Yet a child with anxiety benefits from seeing concrete examples of how to handle stress in ways simple enough for him to put into practice.

Be aware that guilt about how you react to your child's unwillingness to be in certain situations is to be expected.

It's not easy to always have the right answers. If their anxiety has been ongoing for a while you have probably unwillingly been pulled into their drama at various times.

It is obvious that you care because you are seeking information.

If you forced your child to do something against their will in an effort to help them overcome a fear it probably did not worked. Chances are that in looking back you see that it only made things worse.

Beating yourself up about such a situation is very common. STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP!!! It does not accomplish anything positive.

Many parents who feel stuck by this kind of guilt try to rectify their actions by attempting to MAKE it work.

In the long run it turns into a power struggle which no one wins. I believe that parenting is not a ‘one size fits all’ experience.

It is instead more like writing chapters of a book as challenges arise by staying open to new ideas and solutions that fit each child.

For every child born a new book could be written.

Some parents feel inadequate and overwhelmed which heightens the anxiety already existing in the family. So remember none of us can make the world stop turning for our children even if we long for that power.

Knowing that can sometimes help to lower your stress level.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you can benefit greatly from getting the support you need.

Seek out tips to help your child distinguish between real threats and imagined fears.

When something is new to us it is very important to simply be gentle with ourselves as we learn the new and necessary skills to create positive outcomes.

You DO deserve the extra self-care that is sometimes missing as you develop and take on more ‘response-ability’ to your child's condition.

Even if it seems impossible to fit it in, you must take care of yourself and nurture yourself with as much peace and calm as YOU can because in the long run, your child always benefits when you are stronger and more balanced in your own life.

A hypnosis session designed to let go of stress would help you as well.

Stay open to possibilities and don't be shy about seeking and asking for referrals and/or support. Check out resources that your community may offer in the way of support groups.

Parenting classes may offer solutions that you may not be aware of.

Seek out information about how best to fulfill your needs.

A powerful healing experience for children with anxiety occurs when parents learn new ways of relieving their own anxiety.
