Tapping With Kids

CORBY TAPS WITH MAGIC BUTTONS

After watching Magic's Cartoon DVD.

I don't want to go to bed:

Bring Magic to the rescue.

Begin tapping on Magic as you say:

Karate chop: Magic doesn't want to go to bed and he's still a really cute bear.

Top of head: He really doesn't want to go to bed.

Eyebrow: He won't go to bed.

Side of eye: I wonder what magic is afraid of?

Under eye: He doesn't want to go to bed

Under nose: And he's still so very cute

Chin: He's a super duper bear

Collarbone: He doesn't want to go to bed.

Under Arm: We still love Magic, even if he won't go to bed.

Wrist: I wonder what will happen if he doesn't get his sleep.

Karate chop: Magic doesn't WANT to go to bed and we still love him and he's still cute.

(go with however the child is responding by this time) The child might want to do the tapping or they might be adding words.

You can say: "Why don't you whisper to Magic and ask him why he doesn't want to go to bed. Only you can hear him. See if he can tell you. Then you can help him tap so he can feel happier."

KIDS ARE FUN AND EASY TO WORK WITH

They quickly and easily get interested in Magic

and quickly pick up on how to use him.

Corby and Jacey tell Magic about the big dog that knocked Corby down and scared them.

"Magic, that big dog knocked us down. That dog scared us. We don't want to go outside now. He might get us and you're a cute bear. That dog knocked Corby down and he's still a good boy and I'm a good girl and you're a good bear."

We're all done. Magic loves us and we love Magic!

Thank you Magic, for helping us.

(They tapped and tapped with their parent guiding and then they just instinctively pulled the Magical bears up and hugged and loved them.

FANTASTIC way of TAPPING WITH KIDS

is to use Magic Buttons Bears.

Kids respond very quickly when you use Magic as a mediator and put ALL the problems ON to Magic.

Kids love helping. "Help me help Magic to feel happier."

"What do you think would make Magic feel happier?"

"Magic won't go to school today. Would you like to help me tap for Magic."

"I wonder why Magic won't go to school today."

Magic has a tummy ache. He won't take a poo. (a very common problem with little kids)

And even if he doesn't take a poo, he's still a great bear. I wonder why he won't do it. (one little boy said he needed the pain.)

THAT then gives us a clue of where to go and what words to use.

See how MAGICAL the magic tapping bear can be?

Often times kids will open up and tell you things you didn't know before. Your job is to NOT REACT but to stand back and BE the therapist, WORKING ON MAGIC, not the child.

YOU CAN EVEN keep tapping on Magic and working on the problem, even if he child runs off to another part of the room and seems to not be paying attention. Be surprised at the results!

TEENAGERS:

Even older kids are often much more willing to tap through and on the bear than on themselves.

ADULTS:

Love Magic too!

In the lastest Magical Bear Therapy Workshop that I did, people were having core issues pop up all over the place as they tapped along while I was doing demos. Why? Because they are happily standing back from their issues and 'let their guard' down so that the deeper stuff can come up to be tapped away.

We are so used to holding this stuff down and when we are tapping on ourselves, we are still concentrating on holding it down. But try putting it out there onto Magic and see the difference.

MAGIC HELPS YOU STAND BACK AND

GET TO THE 'ROOT.'

Never too young to learn:

Jacey wants to try another Magic.

She Loves tapping with Magic and knows exactly how to do it and she's only TWO years old!
