Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or Tapping is a technique that supports self regulation of emotions and is scientifically proven to be effective for both adults and children. It can be used to relieve stress, overcome limiting beliefs, fears and to bring about lasting positive changes like improved concentration, confidence and so on. 

 

Studies conducted by the Harvard Medical School have revealed that practising EFT reduces activity in the Amygdala ( the part of your brain which triggers the body's stress response). Gently tapping on the 9 EFT points and acknowledging emotions can drastically reduce the negative emotional response, which in turn changes the perspective towards the situation.

Here is a 3min video on the tapping points-

As children grow, life experiences cause them to develop beliefs about themselves and their potential that may not be supportive. And if these limiting beliefs are unchecked in childhood, they go on to shape and limit their adult life too.

As educators and parents, it is important to support children with their social emotional growth. EFT is a tool that empowers children to realise their full potential. 

 

The EFT program promotes Emotional Hygiene where children learn to address their emotions in a healthy manner as they arise. They learn to regulate their anxieties which in turn boosts their concentration, confidence and resilience. 

​

The program is based on the foundation of emotional freedom in 3 thematic units which are-

​

Goal setting

Perseverance

Leadership

I have also seen Exam anxiety reduce as a direct result of these. If you would like to know more about these programs for students and educators, please get in touch here
