He told me about a Fear of Deep Water that he realized while on a Harbor sea exploration with his mom. So we did some EFT for it. Before finishing the first round, he stopped and said it was All Gone. I have had a fear of deep water too, so I continued through a couple rounds til I felt no fear of deep water. He and I were at a lake a couple days ago and tested are feelings about diving in and swimming in the deep part of the lake, niether one of us felt uneasy or fearful about it, in fact, it sounded like Fun, and are fear had been replaced with a Peace…
Using EFT with Kids, you will find they respond very quickly to EFT since they have far less stuff and believe systems to deal with.

Below I am posting a three (3), emails to Gary Craig, who originated EFT, from parents using EFT with there Kids…

1. Gary,
I have had 2 remarkable successes in the past few days regarding my 12-year-old son. The first is in regard to his sports skills, the second deals with a swift recovery from oral surgery just 2 days later.
I had attempted EFT with my son and his friend on the way to a soccer game several months ago. I attempted to use the traditional set-up phrase, “Even though I have this problem …” which didn’t quite work with 2 overconfident adolescents! After their team lost the game and they had no individual accomplishments from that particular game, they both gave me the, “See, it didn’t work, Mom” attitude.
However, recently my son was up at 6 am preparing for a tournament. He candidly spoke to me about his nerves and fears that he would “forget” the things he had been trained to do once he got on the field. (This team hasn’t practiced together - they are a combination group from separate teams).
I called him to my bedside and he allowed me to quietly tap several points while he talked about the negative situations he was mentally picturing. He is usually quite confident and doesn’t often admit insecurities in this way. I didn’t use an “I’m still a really great kid” ending; I just tapped while he spoke his concerns.
That evening, he came home with a medal - his team had won the entire tournament and he had 5 goals (more than he had scored all season), 2 of which were spectacular crowd-pleasers as well as several assists!
Two days later, Wes had an appointment with the oral surgeon to have 4 molars pulled for orthodontic reasons. He woke up nervous about the IV anesthesia, and uncomfortable about not being able to eat for SIX WHOLE HOURS before the mid-day surgery.
He wouldn’t let me tap on him before surgery, but as he came out of anesthesia, I tapped him gently as I spoke to him, encouraging him to wake him up as the nurse had directed me to do. He didn’t fight or bat my hand away and I only spoke “waking up, eyes are blinking” type statements aloud.
I continued to tap as it seemed appropriate over the next several minutes … not every point, and not always speaking out loud, but I had thoughts of controlling the bleeding and of course, the pain that was sure to come after numbness wore off. I did direct him to roll his eyes, hum and count as I tapped the gamut point, to which he obediently complied, though groggy.
After bringing him home to my husband, I returned to work for several hours. Imagine my shock, surprise and delight upon my return a few hours later to see him up & around, eating comfortably, chatting cheerfully and speaking of being sore, not numb and with no trace of pain at all.
He has only taken 1 dose of pain medication and actually ASKED to go to school the next day, even though it would have been an excused absence through two more days. He has little or no noticeable swelling (which I didn’t even think to tap for) and only iced his jaw for a few minutes as opposed to 24 hrs as directed. I am stunned, amazed and thrilled at how my novice effort has paid off big time for my son in these two keenly important areas in his world!

2. Hi Everyone,
Wanna change a young man’s life forever? Just apply EFT for a learning issue and watch his self-image and school performance change dramatically. Gratitude for Sue Parks for showing us how.
Hugs, Gary
Dear Gary.
I was absolutely delighted when I was able to help a young teenager who was excluded from school due to lack of attention, messing about in class, etc. My son knows this lad who was rapidly heading down the wrong path. I offered him a free session in my lovely, safe healing room.
After asking him why he thought he had been excluded, he said it was because he gets embarrassed because he can’t read very well. I got him a book and indeed, he was right. The second word was ‘looked’, and it took him a few seconds to dare to attempt it.
We did EFT. By the end of this very short section of our 45 min session, (we covered two other issues as well) he read two pages non-stop to me; including the words meticulous and reverie! He whooped and cheered and said he would now be able to read his football comic and that he would no longer be laughed at by his friends.
Before my eyes I saw a young boy’s life path change. We both cried a little that day. With love and thanks.

3. Hi Everyone,
Children are easily upset by the happenings in the world around them and sometimes these upsets carry over into adulthood and create lifelong limits and fears. Fortunately, we can often catch the problem early as was the case with Kim Eisen and her great niece. Note how Kim makes several attempts before landing on the correct approach.
Hugs, Gary
Hi Gary, (more for the kids)
Children love animals normally, until something happens to make them think differently. I had my great niece over and my older cat, who isn’t used to children’s noise and advancements, gave her a little scare when she went up to pet her; the cat slapped her with its’ paw and she got scratched. The child got so upset and I couldn’t stop her from crying, so I asked her if we could try something to help her feel better and she said ‘yes’.
I told her that she had magic buttons to make her feel better and asked her to say what I say and follow me where I tap and I was going to tap on her first so she would know what to do. So, I started with Even though (pet) hit me, I’m still a good kid, 3 times while tapping the KC point.
Then we did the Basic Recipe with the reminder phrase (pet) hit me. No success. Next, I tried, Even though I think (pet) doesn’t like me, I’m still a good kid, and then the Basic recipe. No success. Then, Even though (pet) is not used to little kids, I still love myself. No success.
Hmmmm. Then I tried, Even though (pet) hurt my feelings and I don’t know why she did that to me, I’m still the greatest kid, ever, with the reminder phrase, (pet) hurt my feelings and I don’t know why she would do that to me. Bingo. Done. She’s happy.
Going through this again, I did notice my going after the event instead of the feeling was what held up the neutralization. Even though I know better…
Often when this happens to a child, they are fearful of that same animal from that time on. But, when she showed up two weeks later, she ran in asking where (pet) was and went right up to her and started petting her like nothing had ever happened. And, thankfully the pet was on her best behavior.
