Bonni: Solved her daughter's separation anxiety

Bonni emailed me in distress:

"I'm having some problems with my daughter. She sobs and clings on to either my husband or myself when she's taken to school, and she doesn't want whoever is taking her, to leave. After trying several things, arriving early, arriving late, dropping off at the school gate, involving the teacher...nothing is changing. She doesn't know why she's behaving like this, she just says she wants us to stay. The behaviour repeated itself at a school disco last week."

I sent her some suggestions for how to work with her daughter (aged 5) with EFT. At our next consultation she reported:

I did the EFT with her as you suggested, before she went to bed. We tapped on her feelings about being left by us. I started tapping on me and asked her to tap on herself, but then she began tapping on me and I was tapping on her. It all got a bit out of control, but in a good way!

The next day, I dropped her off at school - no tears, no clinging, no problems at all! That night she asked me if we could do 'that tapping thing' again.

The only time she's been upset when I've dropped her off to school since then, is when she had something wrong with her shoe and wanted to change it.

TappyBear is a custom-made EFT 'tapping buddy' for children

TappyBear was designed by a 'tapping' family to help make doing EFT fun, easy and natural for kids.

My own two children LOVE Tappy (that's my daughter Imogen with her TappyBear, on the right).

I teach my child clients how to use TappyBear, and also show parents how to use Tappy with their own kids to help them handle their difficult feelings.
