This is amazing! I recently received an unsolicited testimonial from a person using our latest offering; “The Confidence Audios.”

I can’t make this stuff up, so please take about four minutes, and see what this very satisfied listener had to say.

Dear Trapper,

“The Confidence audio use ranges from someone that needs a pickup after a bad day, a string of bad events, or to get over a hurtle that might be setting them back. The positivity that is set from the confidence audio from the start helps to reaffirm that one deserves the best in their life.

With the confidence audio, there is a wide range of purposes. I have used the confidence audio for specific reasons, something as big as getting a drivers license, or simply on a day that could have gone better-such as when the train was late, and the day went downhill from there.  While watching the news, it is so easy to get down, and depressed. It is easy to get side tracked from the fact that we deserve the best in life. The Confidence audio says that we deserve our best, and can be tailored to any given purpose. You can say the meditation out load, or listen to it to remain peaceful and calm.

Being too lax and giving them too much independence can lead to rebellion while being too demanding can destroy a child’s independent spirit and promote too much dependence.

Although self-esteem can be developed anytime in a person’s life, it is good to begin early on and train your child to trust in what they can do and to accept their personal talents.

Below are some exercises that you can do with your child that can help them improve their levels of self-esteem and confidence.

Self-affirming statements

Talking to yourself in front of the mirror and telling yourself what a great person you are can be a bit childish for a grown-up to do but not for a child.

And even if it seems childish, the practice is quite effective in boosting our self-esteem. And you don’t even have to stick to the mirror process. You can create your own as long as you stick to the basic, which is the saying of self-affirming statements.

Create a mantra that your child can easily remember. Every morning, tell your child the mantra and have your child tell hers to you. The statements need not even be something about the self but about each other such as saying I love you in the morning or telling each other how great the other is.

There is really no exact way to do this. You can create your own variations as long as the essence of affirming oneself is there.

The positive trait game

Another activity that you can do with your child that will not only boost her self-esteem but also help in building his or her vocabulary is the positive trait game. In this game, you will each tell each other the positive traits that one sees in the other. The catch is that the trait should start in a specific letter of the alphabet.

The positive trait game is a wonderful way to teach your kid to think positive thoughts and to acknowledge the traits and talents that make him or her unique. This is also a great way to make sure that he or she will grow up knowing where his or her strengths lie.

Do activities that they love

Encourage them to try out new things so that they will discover their talents and abilities. Enroll them in different summer classes and be open to all kinds of things. For instance, if he is good with drawing and crayons, it does not mean that he will not be good in music. So don’t discount music lessons as part of his summer curriculum.

Anyhow, if he does not like it, at least he has learned something new. Helping them discover the things that they love to do and the things that they are good at is a great way to boost their self esteem early on. After all, when children are enjoying what they are doing, they become very enthusiastic and they are open to developing their skills further.

Today’s post is a last in a series I have been covering concerning  Hypnosis for children. Today I will cover some of the drawbacks, but yet still some of the positives.

Hypnosis for young people to resolve or tackle some concerns or difficulties regarding  behavior or health is  referred to as hypnotherapy.  In hypnotherapy,  young children use their daydreams to  transform their  behavior,  feelings and  additional symptoms.  Not necessarily    everybody under the sun can be a hypnotherapist.  A  qualified  health and psychiatric profession is required to put children, also adults, into hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy or  employing hypnosis for  treatment options used to be  unspeakable.  Most  individuals and patients alike,  have a tendency  to  believe  that hypnotherapists would require their patient to go walking around and cluck like chickens when hypnotized.  One significant  negative aspect of this procedure, is the  shortage of  assistance  it has endured as an different  treatment method.

But currently, things are starting to shape up for hypnotic treatment.  There are medical groups who are starting to recognize the potential of hypnotherapy in treating illnesses and dealing with disorders.

In 1958, the American Medical Association, already recognized hypnosis as a form of treatment.  The American Psychological Association has acknowledged hypnosis as treatment years ago.  The National Institute of Health expressed it support for hypnotherapy as a method of relieving pain for cancer patients in 1995.

But still regardless of the medical endorsements, there is still a prevailing outlook that hypnosis as a treatment is negative and images of funny people on hypnotic state conjures up to our mind.

Another disadvantage of hypnotherapy is that there are children or people who cannot be hypnotized at all.  Children who show psychotic symptoms are not compatible with hypnotic treatment.  While children or teen-agers using drugs or alcohol also prove to be poor hypnotic patients.

Hypnotherapy is best recommended for children ages 5 and above.  Children, unlike adults, are more in touch with their imaginative side.  This could be either beneficial or detrimental in the hypnosis process.  That is why different approaches should be used based on different age and characteristics.

Hypnotherapy can also be done by parents to their children.  Experts say that children with ages seven to eight are in the hypnotic state most of the time even when there is no hypnotist around.  On these ages, children take in suggestion very seriously.  Parents who tend not to be too sensitive with what they say to their children  may say some remarks which can be both hurtful and have some effect on their self-esteem.

This is why  children who are undergoing hypnotherapy tends to be sensitive to what is around them remember that hypnotherapy and its positive effects can be turned into rubble when negative energy surrounds the child.  Parents should be sensitive with what they say and suggest to their children.

Sometimes a hypnotherapist may forget to remove the suggestions of the hypnotic sessions.  If a child is undergoing therapy for pain management, this could pose a problem.  When under these kind of treatment, children may run into accidents or serious problem which may cause serious injury and not get any proper treatment.  It is important for parents to take note of these when sessions for hypnosis of children is done.

It is important to remember that these disadvantages of using hypnosis for children is more of a social prejudice.  There are some people who regard hypnosis as control or manipulation of one’s mind and body which is completely untrue.  Hypnotherapy when properly done could render positive and massive results.  Most of our fear about hypnotherapy is rooted on how it was viewed in the past, which is mostly myths.
