Most children are excellent subjects for hypnosis; their wonderful, naturally rich imagination is all that is necessary to work with to create a good trance deep enough for therapeutic use.

There are different techniques according to the age and maturity of the child. Inductions need to be structured around the interests of the child.

Very young children can be asked to imagine they are holding a favorite toy or pet, whilst describing the sensations of the object, perhaps ask the child to imagine rocking the toy or pet to sleep.

(If a child has had a pet that has been 'put to sleep' then avoid any anxiety causing words or phrases).

Slightly older children can be asked to visualize a journey on a magic carpet and the scenes below are described as the child floats gently up.

Children of most ages will respond to the request to close their eyes and imagine watching their favorite television program. Their favorite character can be incorporated into the therapy as an aide or a role model.

Those who are interested in sport can be asked to imagine watching a successful game. I have successfully used a football match, whereby my client was watching from a prime position as his hero scored a goal. At this point their eyes met as they shared (for a brief moment) that winning feeling of success. The memory of that 'brief moment remained with him, and within six sessions of hypnosis the boy was helped with a bedwetting problem which he had had for twelve years.
