The skill and techniques you offer in this book are profound...I love your humanness...I

“Helping Kids rise and Shine” is a definite must-have resource for families, or any health practitioner, teacher, or counsellor working alongside not only youth, but I believe it can also be transferable to adults dealing with emotional and mental issues. My personal expertise is as a Registered Nurse and certified Energy Medicine practitioner/life coach. The core principles of my clinical practice are that physical health is a direct reflection of emotional and mental health; therefore, addressing these factors is critical if one is to truly approach the facilitation of healing from a holistic perspective. This book addresses several sensitive subjects and common childhood traumas in an empathic yet practical way. It offers clear instructions and rationale for working with the Targeted EFT tapping process. After reading the book, I now feel empowered and confident to introduce this modality into my toolbox.

This book has provided an easy-to-implement approach to help my daughter navigate the challenges of her first year of high school and has also been instrumental in my own personal growth. I highly recommend putting it in every parent’s toolkit! You’ll learn about yourself and your child in the safest and most nurturing way.

This book is essential reading for anyone choosing to help children move through challenging life experiences, past hurts, and memories. Paul’s compassionate understanding and heartfelt writing offers clear guidance, written in layman’s terms. He makes complex and challenging topics more easily understood. The Targeted EFT Tapping process is a wonderful tool for adults and children. It certainly has helped me - give it a try!

At 76 years of age, after reading just the first three chapters, I would have to say that this book would have changed everything about the way I parented if I had had this info all those years ago. Parenting needs a manual like this. I can see the benefit of having this book in my hands as a reference for helping me with interacting with my grandkids.

There are many things I love about this book. I feel like I've been taken on a healing journey. I know this book is about helping kids, but I feel like my inner child has felt heard and received healing too. Paul has such an amazing way of making difficult topics that are hard to look at, easier, if that makes sense. Part Two of the book is also well presented and explained. I found it easy to follow the instructions and the Tapping statements are 'gold'. Having done Tapping in the past, his Targeted EFT version makes it so easy to get right to the point of a block, stress, or trauma. It has helped me so much. I can't wait to try this with my kids. And I believe this book could also be a game-changer in schools.

This book is designed for parents, teachers, and caring adults who want to learn to facilitate the Targeted EFT Tapping process to help support children recover from the stressful experiences they have been exposed to that has left them feeling sad, scared, nervous, confused, depressed or traumatized.
The book empowers adults to help support the mental and emotional well-being of children aged 7 to young teens, manage issues such as self-image, friendship and communication challenges, family stress, anxiety, bullying, abuse, and more.
Part One of this book provides the reader with an overview of the challenges that many children face from childhood through to their early teens—a time of intense physical, mental, emotional, and social growth.
Part Two: The Workbook provides a scaled-down version of the Targeted EFT process I use with my adult clients in my therapy practice. Using the step-by-step guidelines provided, the reader can become the facilitator, equipped to guide a child or teenager through the Targeted EFT process.
The Targeted EFT Tapping process takes about 30 minutes to complete. In most cases, the child will feel calmer and clearer within themselves, ready to move on with their life. However, it is also normal for a child to say that they don't feel any different. This may be true, but it can also represent that the child is not used to sensing how they feel or does not have the words to express themselves. Just be attentive and look for social clues that the child is functioning better in their life.
Yes, of course. You may already have your preferred modalities when working with children, and there may be times that applying the Targeted EFT Tapping process can be a valuable addition to your approach, particularly with certain children who may benefit from its gentle, focused method.
As you will see on our website, we will soon be offering training courses that explore the deeper aspects of using Targeted EFT. For updates and more information, be sure to keep an eye on our website. www.helpingkidsriseandshine.com
Yes. Whether you are new to Tapping or have some experience, this book offers guidance and practical step-by-step instructions to facilitate the Targeted EFT process, for use both at home or at school. Understandably, as explained in the book, there are a few more factors to include for a school-based Tapping session.
This book provides readers with a tool that, when they learn to facilitate the Tapping process, it can be used with children to help reduce their stress, anxiety, tension, overthinking, and more, while supporting greater clarity, self-love, self-awareness, and wellbeing.
The Targeted EFT process helps the child by reducing the amount of fear, stress, shock, trauma, and overwhelm stored in their mind.
By the end of the 30-minute process, the child can often feel calmer and clearer within themselves, ready to move on with their life.
The process can reduce the child's mind from obsessing and being stuck on a fear or issue. In some situations, the process may need to be repeated weekly to continue reducing the pressure these issues bring them.
This easy-to-follow guide includes over 60 Tapping statements (scripts), step-by-step instructions with illustrations, and links to video tutorials, extra resources, and an interactive website.
Targeted EFT is a unique, therapy-based version of Tapping. It incorporates my insights and experiences as a therapist, blending elements of exposure therapy with the Basic Tapping Sequence of standard EFT.
The Targeted EFT Tapping process uses specifically worded Tapping statements—written and designed by me—to seek out, access, and momentarily activate the stressful, fearful, and traumatic thoughts and memories held within a person’s mind.
Just like switching a light on and off, the precise wording of these Tapping statements delivers the energy needed to trigger the conscious survival-focused mind. This activation brings fear-based thoughts and issues to the surface, making them ready for processing through tapping.
This is part of the power, potency, and a key point of difference with Targeted EFT. It directly accesses the stressful issues the child’s (or person’s) mind has in the moment, which often leaves the child feeling distracted, sad, anxious, confused, and stressed—and unable to change their mindset.
Once their stressful issues are tapped through and reduced to a manageable degree, the child's mind becomes clear, focused, and ready to learn, care, and live their life again.
