Well, there were a combination of things that had occurred throughout the year; one 5th grade teacher was very receptive to EFT throughout the whole year. Obviously, these kids were at an advantage. Also, I had a weight loss group for staff throughout part of the year. These teachers had also been sporadically teaching the kids EFT. Prior to the tests, I used a combination of Brain Gym, Barbara Eden techniques and EFT. So we began with EFT. The kids gave me lots of feedback about what was the scariest part for each of them; negative self-talk, seeing the paper, the night before, etc. So I started with, "Even though I'm so scared of these dumb tests." for 1 round. They really liked saying 'dumb tests'. During the 2nd round they could fill in the blank with their own personal fear. Next I taught some of Barbara Edens energy and stimulus points that they could use whenever they felt like they were losing it. Then we used some Brain Gym exercises which cross the midline of our bodies. Research has shown that when we cross the midline we stimulate both sides of our brains. I had previously made a CD that was exactly the same as I taught to the kids. One of the teachers, who was in my weight loss class, told me that she had a student who rarely got past the 1st question on any quizzes, so she taught the students about 'borrowing effects'. She also taught them about being a community and helping others. So they all tapped and focused on that certain child. He not only finished the tests, but he did not even finish last.
