While researching the efficacy of mindfulness training in children is a new domain, existing evidence suggests that it has positive effects on psychological well-being, pain management, emotion dysregulation, negative behaviors, and cognitive/executive functions and attention (Evans et al., 2018; Zhang, Díaz-Román, & Cortese,2018).
