Help children feel more comfortable with new experiences with the Try New Things for Kids Hypnosis Script

Many children are reluctant to try new things. We all have a need to feel safe and secure, and for children the thought of stepping out of the routine can challenge that by bringing up feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability. If we want to give our children every opportunity in life, we must help them overcome this fear so that they can learn and socialize to the best of their ability.

The Try New Things for Kids Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help kids become more comfortable with and even excited about the prospect of new experiences.

Rather than a traditional pre-talk, the session opens with a quick introduction informing the child that they are about to hear a "magic story" that will give them a dream with "special secrets" that will help them in many different ways.

As the induction begins, the child is asked to simply get comfortable and close their eyes. They are encouraged to recall how the body feels when they fall asleep, and then to imagine that they are already asleep. An explanation of how the mind works when they are asleep, helping them get better at the things they've been learning, paves the way for unconscious change.

Slowly and gradually, embedded commands instruct the child to experience their body getting heavier and heavier as they fall deeper into a dreamlike state. They are taken on a relaxing yet stimulating journey, soaring like a bird across ocean and land, absorbing all the sights, sounds, and smells.

The trancework begins as the child descends to a little house in the treetops to discover a girl called Hattie who "always liked to do the same things." Immediately a sense of kinship is established between the child and Hattie as parallels emerge between them. Mirroring the child's current experience, Hattie becomes a braver, more curious version of herself in her dreams, experiencing and enjoying all sorts of new, magical adventures.

A description of how Hattie would feel in the mornings as she woke up is sprinkled with embedded suggestions encouraging the child to look forward to trying new things. An analogy to holding a special present, feeling the anticipation of opening it, magnifies this sense of excitement and sets up an expectation of happiness from new experiences.

When Hattie's grandmother comes to stay, Hattie discovers that she is actually descended from a very adventurous family, and that even her favorite doll, passed down through the generations, has traveled all around the world. Her grandmother reveals that she, too, was hesitant to try new things as a child, but found her "inner adventurer," just as she knew Hattie would. In identifying with this story the child can feel validated in their feelings of hesitation, but confident in the knowledge that they can be overcome.

Sure enough, Hattie comes to realize that the adventurous side of her is actually who she really is, and again the opportunity is taken to include plenty of embedded commands that help the child to absorb this same realization for themselves. The child is reassured, however, that this change need not be rapid - "it's okay to be a beginner." Descriptions of fun, carefree activities help reinforce a greater sense of comfort with new experiences.

As the story comes to a close, Hattie is feeling "confident and strong," giving the child a template for experiencing that same confidence and strength in future as they become more comfortable with new experiences and even start to feel excited about them.
