Tapping Pictures
for Kids


I would have to say that my best Emotional Freedom
Techniques (EFT) 'teacher' and proponent of tapping,
would be my daughter.  On a regular basis, she will
come to me and say:  "I kinda had this bad feeling,
I think maybe we better tap on it a bit." 

She's still a little unsure about tapping for herself, and worries about forgetting the points or the order.  Together we come up with the idea of having a picture of the points just for kids, and she helped me pick characters that she thought might be interesting for boys and girls. 

How to use the tapping pictures:

1.  The picture can be used as a visual cue to remind your child where the points are located, while they tap on their own body

2.  You can suggest to your child to imagine the character feeling the same way they do, and that they can help them to feel better by tapping on their 'magic points' or 'super spots.'   It's amazing how tapping on the paper will dissolve the emotions within themselves.

3.  Let their own imaginations take over - allow them to play with the pictures and see what methods of their own they can come up with...

Select and print a picture:

Simply click on and print the picture that your child prefers (below), and have it visible and accessible somewhere.  Tack it to the fridge or hang it in their room like a poster.  You can also make it more durable by laminating it or placing it in a clear protective sleeve. 

Essentially you can take a picture of anything that your child is interested in or can connect to, and illustrate the points for them. 

Some children might relate better to a 3-D toy, which can also be 'marked' with the tapping points.  Please check out the Tappy Bear website for another option.
