Hypnosis Help with First Day at School Anxiety

My own son was three year old (far too early in my opinion and I would never do this again.  I just went along with the rules at the time) when he started school.  I loved having my son at home with me and was devastated when he started school.  It took my son weeks to settle into school and I remember crying most mornings. 

My friends ay HypnosisDownloads.com have created a wonderful download First Day at School Separation Anxiety

I wish I'd had this.  I know this will be a wonderful resource for parents and children facing this challenging time later this year. 

I'm a huge fan of Hypnosis downloads and over the past few years have built up quite a library to help me live a wonderful life.

Helping kids release fear with EFT

I found this wonderful EFT video from Brad Yates and I had to share it with you.  I'm very familiar with Brad and his work.  He is particularly famous for his programs Money Beyond Belief, Confidence Beyond Belief and Body Beyond Belief.

This video however is for children.  All children I have ever known (as an ex-nursery school worker that's a lot), feel afraid from time to time.  This video will release those fears and help your child to feel calm.

Positive parents and kids update

New Puppy

Well it's been a roller coaster ride with our lovely new puppy Lola.  We got her from the local dog rescue center.  She's five months old and a labrador/pointer cross (we think).  We had her her in our home for just 6 days before she had to have a stay at the vet's.  She had parvovirus which is an incredibly dangerous dog illness.  The vet explained the situation and there I was with our new puppy that Jack (age 9) had bought with his own money, being asked if I wanted to go with the treatment which I was told could easily result in her dying and was very expensiveor we could put her to sleep there and then.  Needless to say I was in floods of tears.  We had to give her a chance.  The first 72 hours were critical to her survival.  We said we had to give her at least the 72 hours.  So she stayed at the vets on a drip to make her better.  We visited her often and prayed she would be home healthy and strong soon.  We said positive affirmation and visualized her running around the garden. 
I'm happy to say after the 72 hours were up she had made a full recovery and is now home, happy and healthy.  She's one very loved puppy.  Now we just need to work out how to convince her 5.30am is not playtime in our home.  Any ideas?

Books

I love books and I'm delighted to say Jack share my passion.  He's a book fanatic.  I wanted to tell you about a brilliant book I bought him for Christmas.  It's the Nat Geo Kids infopedia (almanac in USA) and it's absolutely packed with the most wonderful information.  It's the sort of book that all ages love and you can pick it up for a couple of minutes or an hour.  If your kids love information and books this one is a must.

I got my copy from Amaon.co.uk but I know it's available on Amazon.com too.



This is the same one on Amazon.com


They do new ones every year and we got last years when we were in Florida on holiday.  He's usually got them both either in the car or at the side (or in) his bed. 

Well, I'd better get myself moving.  The sun has finally come out so I'd better go and put the washing out. 

Happy Parenting.

Using EFT With Children.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is an extremelly powerful technique to use with children.  It can be used for pretty much anything.  Including:

• Helping children to feel calm
• Helping with school issues
• Helping with friends issues
• Helping to feel well (clear headaches, tummy aches,etc)
• Helping to sleep better
• Help with sports

This is just an example.  EFT can be used for so many things.  If you have something you or your child needs help with EFT is well worth trying.

Tappy Bear is an interactive bear that helps children use EFT.  Parents can use the bear with their child and the child can use the bear alone to use EFT for themselves.  Children quickly learn how to use this powerful technique themselves with a lovable, cuddly friend. 

For more information on EFT and Tappy Bear click on the link below.  Be sure to sign up for their free newsletters.  There are some lovely stories about Tappy Bear and friends too.

What Are The Rules?

I'm not really keen on the word rules.  It makes me sound like a strict headmistress.  However in my life, with my family and in my home, I need rules.  I've tried it without and I just feel out of control and my family suffer, especially my son.  He is so much happier when he knows the rules or a nicer way to say this is, he is happier when he know what is expected of him. 
Let your children know what the ground rules are. Be clear about what you want.

Our children love to make us happy (most of the time).  If they know what is expected of them, what we want from them life becomes easier and happier. 

I don't have a massive list of rules and the ones I do have are incredibly basic. 

• Speak politely
• Treat people with respect
• Be kind to others
• Be kind to our pets
• If you get things out,put them away.
• Take care of your own things
• Help keep our home tidy and clean

These are for all members of our family.

Jack also has a few little rules that help him stay organized for school.

• Sort school bag out as soon as he comes home
• Homework before play
• Pack bag for the next day.

This is what works for me and my family.  I've tried different ideas over the years and as Jack grows we make changes but this pretty much sums up our family rules. 

Sure Jack will get a pile of things out and trash my living room but he knows I want and expect him to clear them before he starts something new.  Sometimes he doesn't want to do his homework but he knows he can't play, watch tv, etc until it's done. 

This is Jack helping out in the garden.  He's doing it because he likes it not because I tell him he has to. 

Now there are always days where some rules go out of the window and that's okay.  I'll talk about being flexible in my next post. 

My message here is simple.  If you let your kids know what you want in a calm and consistent manner.  The chances are most of the time you'll get it.  The added bonus is a happy child who feels safe.

That's all for today.

Goal Setting and the Law of Attraction in Terms Your Children Will Understand!

A Happy and Positive Start to 2011

The beginning of a new year is always exciting.  It's a time to take stock of life.  It has long been a tradition to make New Years resolutions.  Some are kept some are broken by the 2nd of January or sooner.

Everyone wants to reach their goals and teaching kids early how to achieve the things they want is a gift they will keep with them throughout their lives. 

Several years ago I bought my own son GO FOR GOALS.  It's goal setting using the law of attraction in a way that kids understand and love. 

Kids feel enpowered and confident they will be able to achieve the things they want.
