5 EFT Tapping Phrases to Help Your Child Calm Down Quickly

When kids are overwhelmed, EFT tapping can be a fast, fun way to help them find calm. By combining gentle tapping with simple, reassuring phrases, children can release stress and feel more grounded in minutes. Here are five kid-friendly tapping phrases you can use to turn anxious moments into peaceful ones.

1. "Even though I feel upset, I am safe right now."

Perfect for when emotions run high! This phrase helps kids acknowledge their feelings while reminding them that they are in a safe place.

2. "It’s okay to feel this way—I can let it go."

This phrase gives kids permission to feel their emotions without judgment. Tapping along reinforces the idea that it’s okay to release those heavy feelings.

3. "I can breathe, and everything will be okay."

This one encourages deep breaths as they tap. Pairing breath with tapping helps reset the nervous system and promotes relaxation.

4. "I’m doing my best, and that’s enough."

Perfect for perfectionist kids or those who feel pressured. It helps ease self-criticism and builds self-acceptance during stressful moments.

5. "I can handle this, one step at a time."

When challenges feel overwhelming, this phrase reminds kids they don’t need to solve everything at once—they just need to take it step-by-step.

How to Use These Phrases

Guide your child through the tapping points (eyebrows, under eyes, collarbone, etc.).
Repeat the phrase while tapping on each point.
Check in: Ask if their feelings have changed, and repeat if needed.

EFT tapping works best when it’s simple, fun, and consistent. By using these phrases, kids can quickly shift from feeling anxious to calm, building emotional resilience one tap at a time! Try them the next time your child needs a little help finding their inner peace.
