How to Create Personalised Hypnotic Bedtime Stories for Children

I create stories for children by gathering important information about the child’s life. Their hobbies, books, movies, superheroes, friends, family, pets, their likes and dislikes around food, favourite clothes, colours, smells, holidays, school subjects their wishes for example.

Within the stories are coping strategies, techniques woven within the tale, that gives the child power and control when facing an uneasy situation. Every night they are strengthening these beliefs and techniques through the story so that they become automatic.

I will share how I construct the narrative, the important linking phrases and words, and how I gather the information and do the research on each child’s interests. Most importantly is that throughout the stories the child is uplifted by praise for their uniqueness and skills and successes, and suggestions about how focused and curious they are at school, playing sports, how loved and precious they are, and looking for they key elements that need to be addressed, which are quite often different to what has been presented, the hidden knowledge.

Children learn to use their minds from an early age, giving them the awareness and knowledge for the future, knowing that they have been successful at making positive changes, and setting them up for future believing in hypnotherapy or mindfulness as they move through life, when in need.

I will use slides and also a short video from a child client, speaking about her positive experience.
