A self help hypnotherapy recording for children aged about 6-9 years who seem to be lacking confidence and self esteem. Gentle & relaxing, it gives them a way to breathe in happy feelings and breathe out anxious ones. It helps them recognize they are very special and it gives suggestions for confidence and feeling at ease. With regular listening they are helped to feel more confident and cope more easily in a variety of situations at home, and at school.

Play the recording at bedtime

They can relax and drift off to sleep at the end. If you find that they fall asleep more or less immediately, let them listen at a quiet time earlier on before bedtime instead, or as well as, when they go to bed. The recording should be in addition to, rather than instead of, any usual bedtime rituals or stories so that they don’t feel deprived in any way.

Imaginative framework

Children imagine drifting off to a lovely garden where they find a pack of special balloons. They are encouraged to blow worries or self doubt into the balloon and watch them floating off into the sky. They then receive powerful suggestions for feeling more confident,  and when they look into the pond and see their reflection, they are encouraged to appreciate themselves as somebody very special. Finally they visualize themselves happily carrying out their normal everyday activities at home and at school, now feeling more confident and with more belief in themselves.

Successful approach

This kind of approach is completely natural and safe. Research shows that when a person first acts out each positive step in their imagination, it dramatically increases the likelihood of their success in the real world. This recording contains powerful suggestions for boosting confidence and self esteem. The language and topics used are carefully crafted to appeal to the interests of this particular age group. NB Some children may seem more or less mature than their chronological age.
