Hi,


Hypnosis is a powerful tool for changing the way we think, feel and do.
Generally children from ages two- to about 10- years-old drift in and out of hypnotic states.
In education, it is being used to help children to focus, concentrate and overcome anxiety.
In clinical settings, it is being used in many adjunct ways in helping children cope with iilness and disease, including managing pain and their emotions.

Here's an overview of hypnosis for children in the context of education.

You can use Google Scholar to find other reputable studies on the use of hypnosis.

Personally I have helped some children using hypnosis with good results. One 10-year-old child who hated Chinese who surprised his mum by asking her to drill him the next day on Chinese words. Another who wanted to overcome exam stress and feel confident about going into the exam hall. Yet another 12-year-old who wanted to have focused attention. who ended up learning a technique so that she could trigger a period of focused attention.
The only caveat with hypnosis is that the client (ie the child) must want to change.
But best to get it from other parents' mouth.

Best regards
