Remember,
regular listening is the key to success!
A self help hypnotherapy recording
for children aged about 4-7 years who either have
already developed a fear of the dentist or indeed
for any child who tends to be a bit nervous of new
situations. With regular listening they are
helped to become accustomed to the idea of
visiting the dentist feeling happy, calm and confident.
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
The gentle & relaxing, story
first gets them to imagine going off to a magic
garden where they touch the magic colourful
flowers to feel happy and brave. Then
they look in the pond and see their reflection;
they are sitting in the dentist’s chair,
riding up and down on the seat, opening their mouth wide
so the dentist can count and admire their
teeth. They see some of the silver instruments
that the dentist uses (described as a little silver
straw with a mirror on the top).
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.
