A simple, child-friendly way to help your kid work through anxiety, big feelings, and stressful moments — with step-by-step instructions, expert audio sessions, and real Tapping videos to watch together.
Kids can feel anxious for all kinds of reasons — school pressure, social dynamics, family changes, social media, and more. Anxiety in children is on the rise, affecting over 9% of kids in the U.S. according to the CDC. Tapping (EFT) offers a simple, child-friendly tool that can help kids manage those feelings in the moment.
Below you'll find how Tapping helps kids with anxiety, a 5-step guide to tapping with your child, practical tips, guided audio sessions from Tapping experts, and videos you can watch together. For more resources by age, visit our Kids & Parents hub.
You don't need to be an expert to tap with your child. Keep it simple, keep it light, and follow their lead.
Kids often learn Tapping quickly, and with less emotional resistance than adults, it tends to work fast. Bringing Tapping into your child's life early — while habits are still forming — gives them a life skill for building emotional resilience they can carry with them.
Listen to these sessions from practitioners who specialize in tapping with kids, teens, and the parents supporting them.
We know that many adult issues stem from childhood experiences, so wouldn't it be amazing to help our children work through their issues while they're still young? Dr. D'Eramo, a traditionally trained MD, discovered the results Tapping could produce and now uses it in her own practice, teaching other doctors how to bring it into theirs. Whether you're a parent or a practitioner, you'll learn the key elements for tapping with children, how to approach physical, emotional, and behavioral issues, hands-on advice for weaving Tapping into your relationship with your kids, and what to do when you feel frustrated and unsure how to help.
Tamara Donn helps stressed, overwhelmed moms build new habits so they can be more present with their children, more productive with their time, and experience more peace in their lives. In this session she teaches how to fit Tapping into a busy schedule and get real results.
In this session, learn how to approach teens specifically and help them use Tapping in a way that fits their age and stage.
When it comes to ADD and ADHD, most focus goes to helping the child, but the parent is often overlooked. Many parents struggle with the exhaustion and perseverance it takes to support a hyperactive child, and having a child with special needs puts real pressure on the family. In this session, Paul Keene teaches parents to support themselves both individually and as a couple, and to use that connection to help create more peace in the home.
In this session you'll learn how social media may be adding to your child's anxiety, a quick and reliable way to tap to calm yourself and your children, and a simple technique for making Tapping a fun, exciting activity for kids.

There's no set minimum age. Even very young kids can be guided through tapping by a parent using simple words and a hand-span instead of a 0-10 scale. As kids get older, they can learn the points themselves and use Tapping more independently.
No. Use their words, not a script. Kids often can't articulate exactly what they're feeling, so it's okay to guess or offer suggestions, and even to keep it playful or silly while still tapping through the points.
It can be as short as a minute or two of "first aid" tapping in a tough moment, or a longer guided session like the audios above. There's no set length -- follow your child's attention span and stop once they feel better.
Tapping is a simple, gentle self-soothing tool, but it isn't a substitute for professional care. For persistent or severe anxiety, or if you're ever unsure, talk to a pediatrician or a licensed mental health professional.
The Tapping Solution App includes guided sessions built specifically for children and the parents supporting them.
