A systematic review of 10 studies found that yoga and meditation positively affect attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior in children with ADHD. These practices also appeared to improve anxiety, low self-esteem, and family dynamics when done in group sessions. The authors suggest yoga and meditation are beneficial as supplemental therapy rather than standalone treatment, and call for larger, longer-term research.
