Depending on the age of the child, needles may or may not be used during treatment.  Other treatment methods such as Acutonics® (tuning forks), gua sha (dermal friction), cupping, and moxibustion (mugwort herb) are very effective.  Treatments with children are generally shorter in duration and have a lower cost.
