The kids of today

My parents used this phrase over and over "The kids of today!" Well I'm NOT going to use it. The kids of today (oops!) have so many pressures that we just didn't have. Everything is so important and dangerous and vital-to-the-image. They have to talk right (yoof-speak) and look right and act right. There are several things that can help them on their way... Crystals for kids...
Children and young people naturally respond very well to crystal healing. They are intuitive, and their senses have not been blocked by the social restrictions that we have learned as adults. Let them handle and play with smooth tumble polished crystals. Have larger display pieces around in their bedrooms and play areas (out of reach for very young children). These can be both beneficial and beautiful. Invent activities such as creating pictures or sculpts with crystals and give them a large variety of crystals to choose from. Allow them to wear crystals as jewellery and carry them in their pockets and school bags. Crystals often have a very quick effect on children.

Try these specific crystals for each specific situation or ailment common to the kids of today.
