Are you looking for a gentle and effective way of helping your anxious young child feel safe and calm and more confident too?
One of our most popular audios for young children is called ‘Let your worries fly away’. It’s a very gentle and calming hypnotherapy recording that helps children around four years to nine years relax and drift off to sleep at night letting go of anything they might have been worrying about. The suggested age group is just a rough guide since I have had four year olds listen and feel calmed and comforted and I have had eleven year olds who have loved listening too.
I was on a radio chat show once where a well-known broadcaster was very dismissive and ‘sneery’ about the possibility of young children having anything to worry about! I think she must have been very out of touch with the world of young children!
Common childhood anxiety problems
The unfortunate truth is that, judging by the number of children I see for anxiety of various kinds and the number of purchases of this particular audio, it seems that young children these days seem to worry about all manner of things. They worry about not having friends, falling out with friends, being too shy to speak in social situations, being bullied by other kids in person or on social media, being separated from their parents, not getting to sleep, dying, their family dying, flying, eating and not eating, tests and exams, being terrified of spiders, dogs and insects to the extent that they don’t dare to go outside … the list goes on and on!
