EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called "tapping," is a simple practice of gently tapping on acupressure points on the face and body while paying attention to what you're feeling.

A growing body of research shows it can calm the body's stress response quickly and support emotional regulation, making it particularly effective for children whose nervous systems are still developing.

Kids don't need to sit still, go deep, or even fully understand what they're doing for tapping to work. It's physical, accessible, and meets them exactly where they are: in the middle of a meltdown, before a big test, or when feelings just feel too big to handle.

Because it works for the adults in the room too, tapping becomes something you can do together. This is often where the real magic happens.
