RE: Sandy -- raging child, upset parent

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy,

I have found EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) really valuable in

relieving the stress of parenting in a difficult situation. This is a

simple, do-it-yourself acupressure for the emotions. You can download a

free how-to manual at www.emofree.com (or maybe www.emo-free.com -- I can

never remember whether it's hyphenated). There's also a great book titled

" Instant Emotional Healing " by Lambrou and Pratt. Mainly I use the " Basic

Recipe " of EFT and the " Balanced Breathing " from the book.

It's amazing, when something my child is doing is " driving me nuts " , if I

do EFT to clear away my fear and/or anger about the behavior, then my child

stops the behavior within a couple of days! I don't know how this works,

but somehow it seems like my negative reaction keeps her locked into the

behavior. With the negative reaction out of the way, she " outgrows " the

behavior quickly!

I hope this is helpful.
