Did you know there is a cool self-help technique that is the bee’s knees for supporting teens with ADHD, that actually works?
Tapping (that’s EFT not tap dancing, by the way!) is a fantastic tool for your teen with ADHD. It’s a great way for them to release any bottled-up emotions, manage anxiety or stress, become more focused, calm and feel more in control.
Encouraging your teen to repeat phrases like, “I am focused,” or “I am calm and in control” while tapping helps your them to rewire their subconscious mind to positive self-beliefs and self-esteem, and weaken self-limiting and negative thought patterns. You might even want to join in and make it a family mantra!
And when your teen or young adult is on the brink of a meltdown, tapping on their preferred points while they vent can help them recover quicker. It’s like a pressure release valve, but for emotions.
Here are seven fantastic reasons why tapping can be a total game changer for your teen:
1. It’s so easy, even your pet rock could do it. And the best part? Your teen can make it their own, like a personalised superhero suit, but for their emotions.
2. In just 10-15 minutes of tapping, your teen can go from feeling like a grumpy troll to a happy-go-lucky unicorn. That’s a total mood makeover, my friends!
3. Sometimes teens don’t want to share their feelings (shocking, I know). But with tapping, they don’t have to! They can tap away those emotions all by themselves, like a tapping ninja.
4. You know that feeling when you’re trying to put together Ikea furniture and you feel like you’re doing it all wrong? Well, with tapping, you can’t get it wrong! Even if you tap like a funky chicken, it’ll still work its magic.
5. Tapping is like a pocket-sized therapy session that you can take with you wherever you go. From the school yard to the dentist’s waiting room, your teen can tap away their worries like a boss, and without anyone else noticing!
6. Tapping can help your teen excel in all areas of life. From acing that science test to nailing a backflip, tapping is like a secret weapon that gives them the confidence to conquer any challenge.
7. And finally, tapping is like a magic potion that reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and boosts the immune system. That’s right, folks, it’s like giving your teen a superpower, take that, germs!
Remember, Tapping is all about trusting your instincts and doing what feels right. So, let your teen be the boss and use tapping in away that works for them.
You might even want to give it a try yourself – who knows, you might just become a Tapping addict like me!
