The subconscious mind is likened to the child's Inner Mind Computer, which is the most powerful computer ever.  Using this metaphor, children can grasp the idea that they have the inner ability to make positive changes.  In explaining hypnosis to the younger children, I explain to them that I am going to talk to their inner mind computer so that it can make the right changes.

Children work very well with the hypnosis approach.  They already understand the world of the imagination and easily achieve the relaxed state necessary to work with the subconscious mind. 

I teach children (8 yrs old and over) self-hypnosis or self relaxation which helps them feel more in control.  I also provide a short reinforcement tape for play at bedtime, which is also for relaxation.
