When using hypnotherapy for children, they will be having a really relaxed and quiet time in which they use their imaginations to resolve their problems. It is important that the child would like to change the problem behavior or issue themselves.
Children are often better candidates for hypnosis than adults, says one clinical psychologist, and the process can help resolve such problems as pain, anxiety, bed wetting, and asthma.
Children tend to respond to hypnotic suggestion better than adults because they are more in touch with their imaginations.
One of the reasons that hypnotherapy for children can be such a good choice is that children make good use of their imaginations. Their therapist will have little difficulty in using this ability to help your child deal with the issue that is troubling them.
The treatment might include using stories, adventures, meeting a hero or even character from a favorite TV program. Who advises you what to do. These are all ideas that are easily accepted by young children.

How Does Hypnotherapy Work with Children?
​
In most children, the imagination of a child is very vivid and strong.
By using the active imagination of the child during hypnotherapy. It is relatively easy to reach the subconscious levels of the mind in a child. Children respond incredibly well to stories, visualizations, imaginative games, and other simple tools. Metaphors are used to guide clients while in hypnosis. Children love stories and easily apply the “moral” to their own worlds.
Hypnosis has helped many children increase their confidence. Start to do their homework, go to school, and even improve their marks at school.
Hypnosis has also helped them with many other problems; like bed wetting, nightmares, stealing, anger, aggression, and low self-esteem, separation anxiety, bereavement, stuttering, thumb sucking, nail biting, food related problems and many other issues.
​
The first session involves the child, parent or parents and the hypnotherapist. It is a time for establishing some trust, and for the therapist and child to identify what the problem is and how they are going to approach and deal with the problem.
It is important that the child wants to make the change and is prepared to work with the hypnotherapist.

Most children attend 4 to 8 sessions with a qualified hypnotist. During that time, the hypnotist can teach a child how to hypnotize himself.
