The experience of raising children can be one of life’s greatest gifts, but it can come with an overwhelming amount of stress and anxiety, while also generating feelings of self-doubt. Am I modeling the type of person I want my child to become? Am I doing enough to prepare my child to be resilient in an ever-changing world? Are my children happy and confident in themselves? In The Tapping Solution for Parents, Children & Teenagers, NY Times best-selling author Nick Ortner encourages readers to first take a look at the amount of stress and worry in their lives as parents, reminding readers that self-care is critical. In the first section of the book, parents are guided on using the revolutionary technique known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), or Tapping, to release parental overwhelm, quiet worry, manage conflict and transform their experience of parenthood. In the second section, Nick explores specific uses for Tapping with children, ranging from releasing negative emotions like anger, fear and phobias, to dealing with sadness, grief, guilt and shame. This powerful technique can even help with specific challenges such as anxiety disorders, difficulties with sleep, nightmares, performance anxiety, bullying, school jitters, divorce and much more. Nick emphasizes the importance of teaching children the social and emotional skills they need for success in life, school and work. This book will guide parents in using EFT Tapping to help their children learn how to handle emotional challenges by means of self-reflection, self-regulation and overall greater self-awareness.

Review

"Contrary to popular belief, a parent’s primary role is to provide spiritual mentorship and support. But how? This treasure trove of a text provides exactly the tools you need to heal, protect, and find balance — for yourself and your little ones."
— Kelly Brogan, M.D., holistic psychiatrist and author of the New York Times bestseller A Mind of Your Own

"It has been said that the wounds of the 8th grade have the half life of uranium. In truth, many people carry the wounds and shame of their childhood and schooling right on into adulthood and then pass them on to their children.
"But it doesn’t have to be this way. There is a scientifically based method that changes the way the mind and body respond to stress... transforming it into empowerment and lifelong skills for living well.
"In The Tapping Solution for Parents, Children & Teenagers, Nick Ortner gives you all the tools you need to help you and your kids live a healthier, more stress-resilient life. I also happen to know Nick and his wonderful extended family. All of them are living proof that this practical approach works. And it’s at your fingertips. Every parent needs this book!"
— Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of the New York Times bestsellers Goddesses Never Age and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom

"I can’t think of a better resource to have on hand when raising children than this book!
"Whether you and your child are dealing with social anxiety, fears and phobias, bullying, or the heartbreaking loss of a first love, The Tapping Solution for Parents, Children & Teenagers will provide you with a simple, yet powerful, tool to turn pain and stress into peace and sanity in no time.
"This book is a must-have manual for every parent!"
— Cheryl Richardson, New York Times best-selling author of Take Time for Your Life

"Too many of our children are anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed. Too many are feeling lost and hopeless. The Tapping Solution for Parents, Children & Teenagers may be just what they and their parents need to bring their lives back in balance. This book gives me hope about our collective future."
— Kris Carr, New York Times best-selling author (and EFT lover)

"If you’re human, you most likely experienced a traumatic event in your childhood. Unfortunately, most of us grew up without any way of processing, communicating, and releasing these painful events. It doesn’t need to be this way for our kids. Nick Ortner has a breakthrough technique that your child can use to recalibrate and empower themselves in those dark moments, and he is going to teach you how to bring it into your daily life.
"This book is a must-read for parents and kids of all ages — consider it first aid for your child’s self-esteem and mental wellness. As a father of two young boys, I highly recommend it!"
— Nick Polizzi, founder of The Sacred Science

"The most important responsibility nature bestows on every new parent is to raise offspring who are happy, healthy, and able to contribute to and advance their culture. This challenge has never been greater than it is today.
"Fortunately, we have at our disposal powerful practices that were not available to our parents or any generation before them.
"Nick Ortner brings some of the most potent of these tools to every parent and child who wishes to learn them, and he offers these resources in a wonderfully practical and accessible format."
— Donna Eden and David Feinstein, co-authors of The Promise of Energy Psychology and The Energies of Love

"In a time where video games and searching the internet are the number one activities for beating stress amongst our teens, there is a need for something more effective.
"This wonderful resource for teens as well as younger children and parents teaches an extremely effective stress management tool, and Nick presents it in a very easy-to-learn way. An absolute must for any coffee table at home."
— Peta Stapleton, PhD, author of EFT for Teens and Tapping in the Classroom

"The two hardest things about being a parent are: How can we take care of ourselves when there are others who rely on us being present, and wondering if we're going to do something wrong to mess them up for life?
"Nick’s work has helped our family learn the tools to help lessen the worry and fear around raising kids. We've used these techniques for ourselves to address our fears of being parents and to calm ourselves down when we're on the edge. We've also used tapping with our children to help our son relax when he's having a tantrum, and even using it to help our daughter with toilet training!
"We highly, highly recommend this book!"
— Kevin and Annmarie Gianni, founders of Annmarie Gianni Skin Care
