J Multidiscip Healthc November 25, 2025
A study of mindfulness meditation in children aged six to nine with ADHD found improvements in core symptoms, family functioning, and social functioning. The intervention reduced inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity and enhanced family relationships and peer interactions. The authors suggest mindfulness meditation may be a beneficial complementary treatment for young children with ADHD, though they note the need for further research with larger samples and longer follow-up.
