Today I got to speak with Rebekah Clark from Happy Marlo. Happy Marlo is an organization dedicated to helping children build skills for dealing with their emotions and being empowered to find their calm space. While these tools and resources are designed specifically for 3 to 11 year olds, the holistic approaches to emotional well-being can, and should, also apply to the parents, guardians and carers of these children. 

Some of us parents also need to learn some emotional regulation skills and find ways to ease our anxieties and centre ourselves. Happy Marlo is a wonderful resource for parents and kids! 

In this episode, Jude and Rebekah speak specifically about EFT - Emotion Freedom Technique, aka Tapping. EFT can help children process emotions and take control of their own wellbeing. The positive effects have been so widespread that some schools are starting to introduce it into the curriculum. 

Benefits include: 

• Helping children recognise, understand and express emotions 
• Significantly reduce stress levels 
• Increased self-esteem and self acceptance 
• Increased happiness, energy and overall sense of wellbeing 
• Reduced perfectionism, fear of failure, or procrastination 
• Improving academic performance or managing learning difficulties 
• Supporting friendship dynamics, anger issues, bullying-related events or self-harm 
• Overcoming fears or phobias
