In the second section of the book, 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.

About the Author

NICOLAS ORTNER is the Founder and CEO of The Tapping Solution, LLC. He has been a leader in the movement to introduce EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), an innovative self-care method of healing, into the mainstream. EFT Tapping is a simple, effective, natural healing method that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. Nick has shared this powerful technique with millions of people, helping them to connect with their unique potential, take control of their personal health and healing, and manifest happy, productive, abundant lives. Nick Ortner is the New York Times best-selling author of "The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living," and "The Tapping Solution for Pain Relief: A Step-by-Step Guide to Reducing and Eliminating Chronic Pain." Nick's newest book, "The Tapping Solution for Manifesting Your Greatest Self: 21 Days to Releasing Self-Doubt, Cultivating Inner Peace, and Creating a Life You Love," guides readers through a 21-day process of self-discovery and self-development. Prior to the publication of these books, Nick created and produced the breakthrough documentary film "The Tapping Solution," which follows ten people who used Tapping to overcome significant challenges, including chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, devastating grief and more. Nick's books and film document real and extraordinary results that have inspired tens of thousands to follow suit by successfully applying Tapping in their lives. His online events and speaking engagements have been attended by participants all over the world. Nick has also produced first-of-their-kind online programs that teach easy, effective ways to apply EFT Tapping to anything limiting a person's life or health. Some noteworthy examples are: The "Tapping World Summit," a free, annual worldwide online event that has been attended by over 1,000,000 people (www.tappingworldsummit.com) and Nick's popular seven-week EFT coaching programs, which provide guidance on achieving common personal objectives such as financial abundance, weight loss and more. Nick is co-founder of The Tapping Solution Foundation and an active board member of The National Institute of Integrative Healthcare and The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement. Nick and the Tapping Solution team are committed to spreading Tapping throughout the world, and in particular to supporting its revolutionary and life-changing use. Together, they have raised over $1,000,000 for tapping-related charities such as Project Light, which aids genocide orphans in Rwanda, Africa (www.projectlightrwanda.com), The Veterans Stress Project, supporting veterans with PTSD (www.stressproject.org), You Can Thrive!, a New York organization providing services for women with cancer (www.youcanthrive.org) in addition to working with The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement to provide Tapping lessons for their social and emotional learning curriculum (jesselewischooselove.org). The Tapping Solution Foundation was founded in 2013 by Nick and his siblings, Alex and Jessica, to support the community of Newtown, CT after the tragic shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. All royalties from the sale of this book, in perpetuity, will be donated to The Tapping Solution Foundation to support their work in promoting EFT Tapping to parents, teachers and students, and for other impactful projects.
