Give them roots & wings
Children & Youth
Until about 6 years of age, all sensors in a child are fully open. This is how a child learns. They feel, see and hear everything around them. Often more than we adults realize. All of these early experiences are formative for a child. A simple, powerful and natural fact. Also, this makes a child vulnerable to a negative event. The breeding ground for an apparently lifelong negative, emotional pattern can thus be established early on. For example, an intense goodbye from a parent when hospitalized or starting school leads to fear of being alone. Even later in life, of course, something can happen that affects a child too much. For example, being bullied or becoming insecure about his school performance makes a child insecure.
Children let go of patterns faster than adults
Emotional patterns are often not as strongly ingrained in children because they are young and thus have not yet experienced much. As a result, IEMT can have an effect relatively quickly.
IEMT supports children with
- insecurity & fear of failure
- tantrums
- dejection
- abdominal and headaches
- stress
- grief & mourning
- separation anxiety
- concentration problems
- sleep problems & nightmares
- hypersensitivity & overstimulation
- unprocessed events

Children | Highly Sensitive & HB
About 20% of people are highly sensitive. Highly sensitive individuals have a more intense and deeper processing of their experiences. They hear, feel and perceive more than average. As a result, they are also more frequently and intensely confronted with emotions – their own and others’. With that, there is also a greater chance that an unpleasant situation will not be adequately processed, and will become fixed as a pattern.
Gifted children with intense emotions
Gifted (HB) children also process their experiences differently than average. As a result, they often need some extra social emotional support. This is usually about things like: how do I process all the stimuli every day, I don’t do well, other kids don’t understand me very well, I’m afraid of making mistakes at school or not being able to get to sleep well.
My experience with HB children
I myself am a mother of three so-called HB children. ‘exceptionally gifted’ children (UHB). Daily they teach me how best to deal with the beautiful and difficult things of intense emotions, processed or not. Themes such as underachievement, fear of failure, perfectionism, self-efficacy, perseverance, setting limits and great responsibility are familiar issues in our home.

‘Eline has been to my home twice. She made me do all the exercises. For example: something with 2 fingers that I had to follow. If things went a little too fast, she slowed down. I feel much happier and happier because all those thoughts are out of my head. I can stand up for myself much better now. And I have fewer headaches.My opinion of the IEMT: It was really fun though and it also helps a lot. I feel better now, except that as a child you do get tired quickly. My opinion of Eline: she is very sweet and calm and patient.’
‘Our 6-year-old daughter had tantrums. At the slightest thing, she could get extremely angry and then also beat around and break things. Eline approached her in a very pleasant and cautious way. Very nice because our daughter can be very shy.Eline treated our daughter in 2 sessions. After this we noticed immediate results. She can still get angry, but not so extreme anymore. We also noticed that she no longer gets angry about things which would have caused an anger attack in the past. In addition, overall our daughter is happier and feels better about herself. Thank you Eline for your tremendous help!!!’
