Can Children Use Hypnosis?

Can children be hypnotized

Hypnosis is a powerful tool to help individuals overcome personal challenges and achieve their goals. However, when it comes to children, many people have concerns about the safety and appropriateness of using Hypnosis.


It is important to note that Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that can be induced in anyone who is willing to participate. Children, like adults, can benefit from the therapeutic effects of Hypnosis. However, it is important to approach Hypnosis with children differently than with adults.

Firstly, it's always important to have consent and permission from the child's legal guardian and explain to them the process and the purpose of the hypnosis session. When working with children, it's important to use child-friendly language and techniques that are appropriate for their age and level of understanding. This may include using guided imagery, storytelling, or other techniques that are engaging and easy for children to understand. It's also important to keep in mind that children have different levels of suggestibility and ability to focus than adults, so it's important to work with a qualified and experienced Hypnotist who is trained in working with children.



As for age, generally, children over the age of 7 are more likely to be able to understand the process and cooperate, but ultimately it depends on the child's cognitive development and maturity level. We have listed 10 reasons why children may benefit from using Hypnosis.


To Overcome Fears and Phobias: Children may experience fears and phobias that can limit their ability to participate in certain activities or cause anxiety. Hypnosis can help children to overcome these fears and phobias by accessing the subconscious mind.

To Improve Self-Esteem and Confidence: Children who lack self-esteem or confidence may struggle in social situations and have difficulty making friends. Hypnosis can help to improve self-esteem and confidence by reinforcing positive beliefs about oneself.



To Improve Sleep: Children may have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, which can lead to tiredness and difficulty concentrating in school. Hypnosis can help children to relax and fall asleep more easily.

To Improve Focus and Concentration: Children may have difficulty focusing and staying on task, which can negatively impact their academic performance. Hypnosis can help children to improve focus and concentration by reinforcing positive beliefs about their ability to focus.

To Improve Athletic Performance: Children who participate in sports may have difficulty performing to their full potential due to nerves or lack of confidence. Hypnosis can help children to overcome these obstacles and perform at their best.

To Improve Study Habits and Academic Performance: Children may have difficulty with study habits or struggle in school. Hypnosis can help children to improve their study habits and academic performance by reinforcing positive beliefs about their ability to learn and succeed.



To Overcome Bad Habits: Children may have bad habits such as thumb-sucking, nail-biting, or hair-pulling. Hypnosis can help children to overcome these bad habits by accessing the subconscious mind.

To Improve Behavior: Children may have difficulty with certain behaviors such as tantrums, aggression, or difficulty following rules. Hypnosis can help children to improve their behavior by reinforcing positive beliefs about their ability to control their actions and make good choices.

To Improve Relationships: Children may have difficulty with relationships, whether it's with family members, friends, or classmates. Hypnosis can help children to improve relationships by reinforcing positive beliefs about their ability to connect with others and communicate effectively.



To Prepare for Medical Procedures: Children may be anxious about medical procedures such as surgeries or dental work. Hypnosis can help children to prepare for these procedures by teaching them relaxation techniques and reducing anxiety.


Hypnosis can be an effective and safe tool for children when used appropriately and with the guidance of a qualified and experienced Hypnotist. With the right approach and techniques, Hypnosis can help children overcome personal challenges and improve their lives in a positive way.
