Children love crystals. Children are more aware and open than adults, and consequently they are sensitive to the subtle energies of crystals and their healing powers. Children seem to have a natural attraction to pick them up and fully explore any kind of stone or crystal.
Babies:
- Rose Quartz helps a baby adjust to the new experience of being separate from their mum. Position a piece of rose quartz in each of the 4 corners of the cot, on the floor or under the mattress. As your baby starts to move around on their own you can move them to the corners of the room.
- Amethyst can go under the mattress, one in each corner and the moonstone under the mattress in the centre of the cot. Amethyst soothes, calms and protects babies from all the new energies they are
 adjusting to and as they slumber between worlds.
- Moonstone is also good for a baby as it protects them as they merge into the physical especially as they spend lots of time withdrawing and re-entering their body through sleep time. Place a small moonstone in the centre of the cot under the mattress or a bigger one on the floor.
Grief: Black Obsidian (Apache Tear) is considered to be "The Grief Stone." The color black means 'to let go' and children who have suffered through a traumatic experience such as their parent's divorce or the death of a loved one would do well to carry a piece of Obsidian, or to sleep with one under their pillow. Black Obsidian will clear the grief, help with adjustment issues and provide comfort and protection.
Calming: Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite of soft blue agates.
Communication and Self-expression: Blue lace agate is helpful for peaceful communication. Amazonite helps to promote the courage to speak the truth
Concentration: Carnelian (for being grounded in the present) or Sodalite (for clearing up mental confusion).
Connection to guardian angels: Celestite or Angelite
Emotional Overwhelm: Moonstone.
Energises and protects: Clear Quartz
Enthusiasm and Happiness: Aventurine
Heartbreak: Rose Quartz
Nightmares & Insomnia:
- Rose Quartz: a small, rough piece of rose quartz will bring sweet dreams
- Amethyst: a small amethyst cluster by the bed or an amethyst tumble stone beneath the pillow acts as protection from nightmares
- Moonstone: a piece of moonstone under the pillow or by the bed helps prevent sleepwalking.
Patience: Rhodonite
Resistance to teasing or bullying: Red Jasper
Self-esteem/self-confidence: If you child has worries or concerns, or is lacking in confidence, crystals can help build their self-esteem. Children can carry stones in their pockets, or you can make a special "talisman" or amulet together for them to wear when they need an extra boost. Try Citrine or Tiger's Eye.
