1. The right age for child hypnosis

Age plays a subordinate role in child hypnosis. The decisive factor is the child’s linguistic and mental development.

• Linguistic development: A 3-year-old child cannot yet express itself as precisely as a 5-year-old.
• Mental development: It is important that the child can follow me and understand the instructions.

Some children reach these milestones earlier, others a little later. This is completely normal and often depends on the environment. For example, children with older siblings often learn to speak or walk more quickly.
(If your child takes significantly longer to reach certain milestones, please have this clarified. Sometimes it simply takes more time, but sometimes it can also be something that requires treatment).

2. areas of application of child hypnosis

Child hypnosis can help in many areas. Here are 3 examples:

1. children’s sports hypnosis and hypnosis for stage fright: if your child needs a motivational boost before a kyu (belt test) in martial arts, for example, or to maintain mental clarity before a competition.
2. improve concentration: Ideal for school, especially if your child has difficulty seeing tasks through to the end.
3. solve learning problems: Helps children develop patience and take a more relaxed approach to challenges.

Of course, there are many other areas of application. It would go beyond the scope of this article to list them all. If you have a specific concern, simply contact me and we will look together and individually for your child to see what is most suitable.

3. requirements for successful child hypnosis

There are 4 important prerequisites for hypnosis to work:

   1. the child’s willingness to change

If the parents have a long list of “problems” but the child does not see these as problems, hypnosis will have little effect.  In hypnosis you are not without willpower. The child itself must be willing to change something.

   2. the support of the parents

Parents should actively support their child. This means:

• Doing homework (exercises I give the child) together.
• Supporting changes in everyday life instead of waiting for hypnosis to “sort everything out”.

   3. the parents’ willingness to reflect on themselves

Children often mirror their parents’ issues. If parents are constantly arguing, it’s no wonder that children mimic this. Sometimes the key to change lies with the parents themselves.

   4. openness to hypnosis

Both parent and child should be open to hypnosis. If the parents do not believe that hypnosis can help, this will be transferred to the child. Success depends heavily on the positive attitude of everyone involved.

4. The purpose of child hypnosis

The aim of child hypnosis is to enable the child to lead a carefree and carefree life. By solving problems early on, we prevent them from having a negative impact on growing up.

5. Interesting facts about child hypnosis

In children, the critical factor (the ability to distinguish reality from fiction) does not fully develop until the age of 5. It then continues to mature until the age of 12.

It is therefore important to pay attention to what media the child consumes. There are age restrictions on DVDs and the like for a reason.

6. A quote from Albert Einstein

“If you change the way you look at something, you change what you look at.”
This quote perfectly describes what hypnosis does: it changes your perspective and therefore your perception.
A simple example is optical illusions: If you change your perspective, you suddenly see something completely different. This is exactly how hypnosis works. It helps you to discover new perspectives.
