*Empowering Little Minds, One Tap at a Time!*
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), often known as "tapping," is a gentle and effective way to help kids release big emotions, reduce anxiety, and feel more confident—all through tapping on specific energy points on the body. By pairing each tap with a positive affirmation aligned to the chakras, you create a fun, mindful routine your child can grow with.

What is EFT Tapping?
EFT is a simple technique that involves tapping on meridian points (used in acupuncture) while saying calming affirmations. It helps regulate emotions and improve mental clarity by releasing blockages in the body's energy system.
For kids, it’s like giving their emotions a hug—while learning to manage stress, fear, or worry in a safe, fun way.
